      Pass your unique CodeNOW API key in the X-Codenow-Api-Key request header.
      Keys are obtained from the CodeNOW user profile and their permissions are
      tied to the user's Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) settings. Keys can be
      regenerated from account settings.

    type: oauth2
    description: >-
      OAuth 2.0 is the recommended authentication method for the CodeNOW MCP
      server (browser-based login with JWT token refresh). The REST API itself
      is authenticated with the X-Codenow-Api-Key header.

notes:
  - The REST API base URL is https://api.codenow.com/.
  - API key permissions inherit the calling user's RBAC role.
  - No public OpenAPI/Swagger document was found to derive schemes mechanically; this profile is captured from the published authentication documentation.
