Create and manage MCP keys

Overview

An MCP key is the credential an AI agent uses to connect to an MCP server. You can create multiple MCP keys in WebPros Dashboard to scope an agent’s access to all servers, one server, or one account, and to control whether it has read-only or read/write access.

For instructions to connect your AI agent to the MCP server after you create a key, read our Connect to the MCP server documentation.

Create an MCP key

To create an MCP key, navigate to the MCP interface (Account Menu » MCP) and perform the following steps:

  1. Click + Add, then click Create MCP Key.
  2. Enter a name for the key in the Enter a key name text box.
  3. Select an access level for your key. You can select Server Access or Key Management.
    • Select Server Access to specify your key’s scope and access mode.
      • Use the Access mode setting to set your key’s access mode to Read / Write or Read Only.
      • Use the Server setting to scope the key to All Resources or a single server.
        Warning:

        A key with All Resources scope and Read / Write access mode creates an entry point for full control over all servers in your account. Use this feature with extreme caution.

      • Use the Client setting to scope the key to an end-user account or an admin account.
        Important:

        If you are providing the key to an AI agent, we strongly recommend you limit the scope to an end-user account. If you set the scope to an account with admin privileges, the agent can use the key to access data from every end user in the server.

    • Select Key Management to allow agents to create new MCP keys autonomously. These new keys have Read / Write access by default.
  4. Click Create.
Note:

WebPros Dashboard shows the MCP key value only once after you create it. Copy the key and store it in a secure location. If you lose it, delete the key and create a new one.

Manage MCP keys and agent activity

Warning:

Agents can only act within the access scope you set when you create the MCP key. However, we strongly recommend you monitor the actions your agents take and ensure they are behaving as you expect.

To monitor and configure how agents use your MCP keys, navigate to the MCP interface (Account Menu » MCP).

Manage your MCP keys

Select the Keys tab to manage your existing keys.

Find a key

To find a specific key, enter its name in the Filter search box.

Rename a key

To rename a key, click the vertical ellipsis (ellipsis icon) next to it and select Rename.

Delete a key

To delete a key, click the vertical ellipsis (ellipsis icon) next to it and select Delete Key.

View MCP tool call logs

The Logs tab shows your MCP tool calls and groups them by date. Use it to audit agent activity and to debug unexpected results.

You can narrow the list using the following controls:

  • Click Date and Time to filter the list to a specific time range.
  • Click Show Failed Only to display tool calls that failed and hide successful calls.
  • Enter a tool, server, or MCP key name in the Filter search box to find calls that match your search term.

To see the details for a single call, click its row. The details page includes additional information like latency, JSON input, and JSON output.

Manage MCP tools

The Global Tool Availability tab lists every MCP tool available for your account.

To see the complete list of tools that the WebPros Dashboard MCP server can expose, read our MCP tools documentation.

Enable or disable a tool

To enable or disable a tool, click the Enabled or Disabled control next to it. This setting defines whether the tool can run for any key, regardless of that key’s scope.

Change a tool’s access mode

To change the access mode of a tool, click the Read Only or Read / Write control next to it. This setting defines whether agents can only read data or also write it. You cannot change the access mode of Read Only tools.
