schemes:
- type: http
  name: Bearer API key
  scheme: bearer
  evidence: 'Every /api/events, /api/events/{id} and /api/venues call needs a key: Authorization: Bearer <key> (or X-API-Key: <key>).'
  how_to_obtain: Create a free account at https://findlocal.community/signup (no card) and mint a key at https://findlocal.community/dashboard/keys. One account can hold 5 named keys.
  header: Authorization
  alternate_header: X-API-Key
  applies_to: REST API (/api/events, /api/events/{id}, /api/venues)
- type: oauth2
  name: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE
  evidence: 'MCP server endpoint: https://mcp.findlocal.community/mcp (Streamable HTTP; OAuth 2.1 + PKCE). On first connect you paste an API key.'
  flows:
  - authorization_code
  applies_to: MCP server (https://mcp.findlocal.community/mcp)
  how_to_obtain: The same account API key authorises the MCP server; you paste it on first connect through the OAuth consent flow.
docs: https://findlocal.community/docs
notes: One account key authorises both the REST API and the MCP server. Playground server (/api/playground) needs no key.
