Every Developer API call is authenticated with a Personal Access Token (PAT) sent as a bearer credential. You create PATs in the Inflection dashboard. One per integration is a good habit, so you can revoke one without breaking the others.

​
Create a token

  1. In Inflection, go to Settings → Connected Apps.
  2. Open the Personal Access Tokens tab and click Create app credentials.
  3. Name the token and create it. Copy the token and store it securely. It won’t be shown again. If you lose it, revoke the token and create a new one.

​
Use it

Send the token on every request:
Tokens are scoped: READ for GET calls, WRITE for POST/PATCH/DELETE. See Authentication for scopes and how auth failures are reported.
PATs are long-lived tokens for the API. They do not work for MCP. MCP clients authenticate through a connected app’s OAuth flow.
