Create personal API keys and connect with the latest MCP protocol
· 2 min read
You can now mint your own API key from Settings and point an MCP client or script at Venue.sh without filing a request with an administrator. The Venue MCP Endpoint also moved to the 2026-07-28 protocol revision.
Create and manage your own API keys
Generate personal API keys from Settings, without waiting on a Venue.sh administrator.
- Self-service creation - Open Settings and create a key with an optional expiry.
- Reveal once - Venue.sh shows the key once, at creation. Copy it then.
- Revoke anytime - Remove a key you no longer need.
- One active key at a time - Creating a new key revokes your existing one, so only the newest key stays valid.
See Settings for where to find your account options.
Connect with the updated MCP protocol
The Venue MCP Endpoint now speaks the 2026-07-28 MCP protocol revision.
- Streamable HTTP transport - The primary transport for MCP clients on the current spec.
- Legacy endpoint redirect - Venue.sh redirects clients still calling the older
/sseendpoint, so most integrations keep working untouched. - Cache hints - Static resources such as the tools catalog now declare cache lifetimes, so your AI tool refetches them less often.
If your AI tool cannot follow redirects, update it to call /mcp directly. See Venue MCP Endpoint for connection details.
Fixes and improvements
- TechDocs navigation - Fixed a crash that could occur when a project's
mkdocs.ymllisted bothindex.mdandREADME.mdfor the same folder. We also published a TechDocs authoring guide covering this and other common navigation pitfalls. - Archived agents - You can no longer edit an archived agent, so its configuration stays locked until you restore it.
