How you authenticate depends on your client:
- Desktop apps (Claude Desktop, Cursor) — sign in when prompted. The first time you use a Jedify tool, your browser opens to your organization’s login page; sign in and return to your client. Sessions refresh automatically.
- Hosted agents and apps — use an API key.
A finished app or dashboard always uses an API key, since no one is present to sign in.
API keys
Create one at app.jedify.com/settings/api-keys. Paste it into your platform’s API key (or token) field. Treat it like a password.
The key is bound to you — it carries your identity and permissions.
A published app uses one API key for everyone who opens it, so every viewer sees data at that key’s permission level — not their own. For sensitive data (HR, finance), use a key whose access matches what all viewers should see.
Security
- All traffic uses HTTPS.
- Access is scoped to the key’s (or signed-in user’s) permissions.
- Sign-in sessions refresh and expire automatically.
