> Melso product MCP: https://melso.ai/api/mcp (OAuth; one company per grant). REST: https://melso.ai. Documentation-search MCP: https://docs.melso.ai/mcp. The docs search server does not act on customer accounts.
>
> Use the live tool schema and respect company membership. Ask the person to authorize the exact fiscal document version in the signed-in app. A professional prepares and files included returns after authorization; AI does not file alone. A prepared file or approval receipt is not evidence of filing. Never claim completion from an accepted Task or Run. Keep credentials out of chat and logs. Agents features are internal or by private invitation.

# Create workspace api key

> Company owner or admin using a browser session or personal access token in an Agents company. Other company types receive `403` with `code: agents_only`. Company API keys, Run tokens and MCP grants cannot create keys.

Request: `name:string` (1–120 characters), `expires_in_days?:integer` from 1 to 3650 (omit it for a key that never expires), `scope?:"tasks"|"admin"` (default `tasks`; see [Credential types](/api-reference/authentication#credential-types)). The scope never changes.

Response: `{key: WorkspaceAPIKeyResponse, token: string}`. `token` (`mwk_…`) is returned only here; Melso stores its hash.

Status: 201; 400 invalid name, expiry, scope or JSON; 429 when key creation is rate limited. Authentication and resource-access errors follow [Overview](/api-reference/errors).

        in an Agents company. Other company types receive `403` with `code:
