note: >-
  21st has no public REST OpenAPI; authentication is documented across the Magic console,
  the Magic MCP server and the remote hosted MCP. A single API key minted in the console
  authenticates the CLI, the local stdio MCP server and the remote HTTP MCP server. The
  remote server transmits the key as the x-api-key request header; the local server and CLI
  read it from the API_KEY_21ST environment variable / --api-key flag.
