Holdify MCP Server is Live: API Key Management for Vibe Coders

Manage your API keys directly from Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. The Holdify MCP server brings API key management to your AI coding workflow.

Jan 9, 2026 4 min read

If you're building with AI assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf, you know the drill: you're in the zone, shipping features, and then you need to create an API key. Time to switch tabs, open the dashboard, click around, copy-paste... flow interrupted.

Not anymore. Today we're launching the Holdify MCP Server - bringing full API key management directly into your AI coding environment.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Think of it as a universal plugin system for AI coding agents.

With the Holdify MCP server, your AI assistant can:

  • Create new API keys with custom permissions
  • Verify keys and check usage in real-time
  • Rotate or revoke compromised keys instantly
  • View usage analytics and quota status
  • Manage projects and team access

Built for Vibe Coders

"Vibe coding" is the new way developers build - collaborating with AI, shipping fast, staying in flow. The Holdify MCP server is designed for exactly this workflow.

Claude Code

Ask Claude to create an API key for your new endpoint. Done in seconds.

Cursor

Let Cursor handle key rotation while you focus on the feature.

Windsurf

Debug API access issues without leaving your editor.

Any MCP Client

Works with any tool that supports the MCP standard.

How It Works

Setting up is straightforward:

# Add to your MCP config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "holdify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@holdify/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "HOLDIFY_API_KEY": "your-root-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once connected, just ask your AI assistant to manage your API keys. It handles the rest.

Example Prompts

Here are some things you can ask your AI assistant once Holdify MCP is connected:

"Create an API key for the payments service with read-only access"

"How many requests has the mobile-app key made this month?"

"Rotate all keys that haven't been used in 30 days"

"Show me which keys are close to their rate limit"

"Revoke the compromised key and create a replacement"

Full Dashboard Integration

Everything you do through MCP syncs instantly with your Holdify dashboard. Your team sees the same data, audit logs capture every action, and alerts work exactly as configured.

MCP is just another interface to the same powerful Holdify platform - same security, same reliability, same features.
