License keys your
AI agent can wire up.

Install the MCP server in Claude Desktop and run your first action.

I want to drive Paperkey (a software-licensing API) from Claude Desktop using MCP.

Read the full integration spec first: https://paperkey.dev/llms-full.txt

Paperkey has no hosted API yet: I run my own self-hosted instance (guide: https://github.com/paperkeyhq/paperkey/blob/main/SELFHOST.md). Never use api.paperkey.dev or app.paperkey.dev.

Then:
1. Add this server to my claude_desktop_config.json (under mcpServers):
   {
     "paperkey": {
       "command": "npx",
       "args": ["-y", "@paperkeyhq/mcp"],
       "env": {
         "PAPERKEY_API_TOKEN": "<paste-my-dashboard-jwt>",
         "PAPERKEY_API_URL": "<my-instance-api-url>"
       }
     }
   }
2. Ask me for my instance's API URL (e.g. https://api.example.com) and tell me how to grab my dashboard JWT from my own dashboard (Settings → AI integrations). If I have no instance yet, walk me through the self-host guide first.
3. Tell me to fully restart Claude Desktop so the MCP server is picked up.
4. Once it's connected, create a product called "Demo App" and issue one license to me@example.com so I can verify the wiring works.

If anything fails, surface the exact MCP error and tell me how to fix it. Don't ask clarifying questions about the config; the snippet above is canonical.

Register the MCP server in Cursor and wire the SDK into the project.

I'm in Cursor. I want to integrate Paperkey (a software-licensing API) into this project.

Paperkey has no hosted API yet: I run my own self-hosted instance (guide: https://github.com/paperkeyhq/paperkey/blob/main/SELFHOST.md). Never use api.paperkey.dev or app.paperkey.dev.

Then:
1. Create or update .cursor/mcp.json at the repo root with:
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "paperkey": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@paperkeyhq/mcp"],
         "env": {
           "PAPERKEY_API_TOKEN": "<paste-my-dashboard-jwt>",
           "PAPERKEY_API_URL": "<my-instance-api-url>"
         }
       }
     }
   }
2. Add @paperkeyhq/sdk to the project (npm install @paperkeyhq/sdk).
3. Create a small helper that calls validate() on launch and activate() if the license isn't bound to this machine yet. Read pk_… from process.env.PAPERKEY_PUBLIC_KEY and pass baseUrl from process.env.PAPERKEY_API_URL (required).
4. Cache the validate result for 24 h on disk so the app stays offline-tolerant.
5. Show a clear error UI when valid:false (revoked, expired, or invalid_key).

Once MCP is live, use it to create a product and issue a test license. Don't mock the values; pull them from my self-hosted instance. Patterns to follow live in section 10 of the spec.

Hand the spec to your no-code assistant (Lovable, n8n, ChatGPT) for integration with your review.

I'm using a no-code or web AI agent (Lovable, n8n, ChatGPT, Bolt, v0). I want to integrate Paperkey (a software-licensing API) into the project I'm building with you.

Read the full integration spec first: https://paperkey.dev/llms-full.txt

Paperkey has no hosted API yet: I run my own self-hosted instance (guide: https://github.com/paperkeyhq/paperkey/blob/main/SELFHOST.md). Ask me for its API URL; that is {API} below. Never use api.paperkey.dev.

Then:
1. Tell me which of my fields/inputs needs to become a license-key field.
2. Wire the validate endpoint: POST {API}/v1/licenses/validate with the public key (pk_…) in the Authorization header. Cache the result for 24 h.
3. If activate() is needed for this stack (desktop / per-device), wire it on first launch.
4. Add a clear error state when valid:false. Show "License revoked", "License expired", or "Invalid key" depending on the reason.
5. Tell me where to drop my pk_ public key (env var, secret manager, n8n credential, etc.). Never inline it in the source.

Use the patterns from section 10 of the spec. If you don't have a built-in HTTP node (n8n, Zapier), give me the exact node config to add. Don't mock; wire it against real endpoints.
