# Vero MCP Authentication

> The Vero MCP server authenticates with a Bearer token—the same API key used for the Campaigns API.

The Vero MCP server uses the same authentication as the [Campaigns API](/api-reference/overview#campaigns-api): a Bearer token passed in the `Authorization` header.

```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

<Info>
  The Campaigns API, and the MCP server built on it, is in public preview. [Contact us](mailto:support@getvero.com) to request access.

## Generate an API key

1. Go to your Vero account settings.
2. Create a new API secret key.
3. Copy it immediately: Vero only shows the key once, at creation. If you lose it, you'll need to generate a new one.

See the [Campaigns API reference](/api-reference/overview) for full authentication details.

## Use it with the MCP server

Add the same header when connecting an AI tool to the MCP server:

```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

<Note>
  Treat your API key like a password: anyone with it can read and write broadcasts in your Vero project. Don't commit it to source control or a shared config file.
