  notes: >-
    The REST API uses an organization-scoped bearer API key. The hosted MCP
    server additionally supports Clerk OAuth (authorization code + PKCE) for
    interactive agent clients, and the same API key for headless automation.

    notes: >-
      A 401 indicates a missing, malformed, or revoked credential. Keys are
      production secrets; rotate regularly. Preserve trailing slashes on URLs to
      avoid Authorization-header drops (401) during redirects.
