Console & API Keys

The current app includes a dedicated API & MCP Console in the signed-in developer area.

Use it to:

  • create API keys
  • rotate or revoke existing keys
  • monitor daily usage
  • check your active plan and current headroom
  • inspect MCP readiness values
  • open the API playground

Where keys come from​

API keys are created from the EthGasStation app, not from the docs site.

In the app:

  1. Open Developer
  2. Go to API & MCP Console
  3. Create a named key
  4. Copy it immediately, because the full key is shown once

Key management​

The developer console supports:

  • Create
  • Rotate
  • Revoke

Rotation is the right default when a key may have leaked but you still want to preserve the integration name and replace credentials cleanly.

Usage view​

The usage panel shows:

  • active plan
  • daily limit
  • used today
  • remaining today
  • active key count

This is the most reliable place to check consumption before you hit a plan boundary.

Playground​

The current backend exposes a public API playground redirect at:

/api-playground

This opens the Scalar/OpenAPI surface for API v1. Use it when you want to inspect request and response shapes before wiring code.

MCP panel​

The same console also includes an MCP panel. It is useful when you need:

  • the current SSE URL
  • the MCP message endpoint
  • OAuth protected resource metadata
  • supported scopes
