# Claude Code

> One command with your API key.

For the Claude Code CLI (and other header-based clients), authenticate with a personal API key instead of OAuth.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Generate a key">
    In SearchTheTrend: [Settings → Connect your AI](https://searchthetrend.com/settings/mcp) → **Generate key**. Copy the `stt_...` value, which is shown once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the server">
    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add --transport http searchthetrend https://searchthetrend.com/api/mcp \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer stt_YOUR_KEY"
    ```

    Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Start a new Claude Code session and run `/mcp`. `searchthetrend` should show as connected with its tools.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Treat the key like a password: it acts as your account (saved lists, credit-spending scans). Revoke it anytime from the same settings page.
