Authentication
Generating an API key is an optional step that unlocks higher rate limits. If you'd like to use the pure.md MCP server anonymously, simply set your PUREMD_API_KEY value to empty string (""). 1. Sign up for a new account at pure.md — it's free to sign up! 2. In the dashboard, generate a new API token 3. Copy the token, and use it for the PUREMD_API_KEY value in your MCP client's configuration file (see below)
