How do I authenticate with Luciq MCP using a token?

Written by Aya

Overview

Token-based authentication allows secure, programmatic access to Luciq MCP without requiring user interaction. It is ideal for automated and non-interactive environments.

When should I use token-based authentication?

Use token-based authentication in:

  • CI/CD pipelines

  • Automated workflows

  • Remote or headless environments

  • Backend or script-based integrations

If your setup cannot support browser-based login, tokens are the recommended approach.

How do I generate an authentication token?

To create a token:

  1. Go to Account Management in your Luciq dashboard

  2. Open Luciq MCP

  3. Navigate to the Token tab

  4. Click Generate authentication token

  5. Copy the token immediately

⚠️ The token is only displayed once for security reasons. Make sure to store it safely.

Keep your tokens safe. Never commit tokens to version control, share them in Slack or email, or include them in public documentation. If a token is compromised, revoke it immediately from your MCP settings.

How do I use the token?

Add your email and token to your MCP configuration:

"luciq": {
  "url": "https://api.luciq.ai/api/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Email": "your-email@company.com",
    "Token": "your-authentication-token"
  }
}

How do I rotate a token?

You can generate a new token from the MCP settings page at any time. Previously generated tokens can be revoked from the same page.
