Authentication

How to authenticate against the Feedbot REST API and the MCP server.

Feedbot’s API uses two authentication mechanisms.

Generate a key from the dashboard: Project → API keys → Create. Keys are prefixed with fbk_ and shown once at creation — the server stores only a hash.

Terminal window
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer fbk_live_..." \\
https://app.feedbot.dev/api/v1/feedbacks

API keys are scoped to a single project. Scopes:

  • read — list / get feedback only.
  • write — read + create / patch.
  • admin — read + write + manage settings (rare; bot uses this).

The dashboard authenticates users via signed session cookies on the fb_session cookie. You don’t interact with this directly unless you’re embedding Feedbot’s UI elsewhere.
