Account and API key

Every connection to OpenBrain — whether from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or your own software — needs an API key tied to your organization.

1. Sign up and open the dashboard

1. Register at your OpenBrain site or choose Get started from the marketing home page.
2. Complete the short onboarding wizard if prompted.
3. Open the dashboard and select your organization.

2. Create an API key

1. Go to API Keys for your organization.
2. Choose abilities that match how you will use OpenBrain:
   • Ingest — save new memories (memory_ingest, upsert, batch).
   • Search — recall memories (memory_search, memory_get).
   • Admin — update or delete memories (only if you trust the app to edit data).
3. Create the key and copy it immediately. It is shown only once.

Also note your organization ID (UUID). Some apps ask for it separately; others only need the key.

3. Keep credentials private

• Do not paste API keys into public chats, screenshots, or shared documents.
• Prefer OAuth sign-in in supported desktop apps when available (MCP OAuth) instead of pasting a long-lived key.
• Rotate keys from the dashboard if you think one was exposed.

Next step

Connect your AI app using the key and organization ID you just created.
