Authentication

Every gateway request uses a virtual key (kc-…) in the Authorization header — never your vaulted provider key.

Header

Authorization: Bearer kc-your-virtual-key

Base URL

Point OpenAI-compatible clients at https://api.keyc.ai/v1 (or your self-hosted gateway). Anthropic Messages uses the same host with /v1/messages.

Dashboard accounts

Self-serve owners sign up at /signup. Members receive an email invite from Team settings (Team plan) and set their own password at /accept-invite. Platform admins use /setup once, then manage all orgs.
