What is an API key?
Think of it as a library card for the system: it identifies who you are and authorizes secure access. Just like borrowing books requires a library card, accessing services programmatically requires an API key.

The following guide is divided into two paths:
When to choose MCP vs. SDK?
| Aspect | Choose MCP | Choose SDK |
|---|---|---|
| Getting Started | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (just install Host/Server) | ⭐⭐ (requires coding and deployment) |
| Governance / Auditability | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Host manages tools & permissions) | ⭐⭐⭐ (requires custom audit implementation) |
| Customization | ⭐⭐ (expand via tool modules) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (full control of flow & performance) |
| Ecosystem Integration | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (coexists with other MCP tools) | ⭐⭐⭐ (based on libraries/SDKs) |
