Testsprite Authentication

Authentication

TestSprite authenticates with a per-account API key created in the Web Portal (Settings -> API Keys -> Create new key). The key is verified by calling GET /me before it is stored. The CLI persists it locally at ~/.testsprite/credentials (INI-style, mode 0600) and supports named profiles; the MCP server takes the key via the API_KEY environment variable. Keys carry a fixed set of scopes (see scopes/testsprite-scopes.yml).

TestSprite secures its APIs with apiKey across 1 declared security scheme, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions.

      TestSprite API key (observed prefix `sk-`). Created once in the dashboard
      and shown only at creation time. Used by the CLI (`testsprite setup`), the
