Authentication
How to authenticate against the Feedbot REST API and the MCP server.
Feedbot’s API uses two authentication mechanisms.
API keys (REST + MCP)
Section titled “API keys (REST + MCP)”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.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer fbk_live_..." \\ https://app.feedbot.dev/api/v1/feedbacksAPI 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).
Session cookies (dashboard)
Section titled “Session cookies (dashboard)”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.
