Your API keys
Use an API Key to run supported Matrix Tools or send and read Matrix Transfers from your code. Choose the permissions each Key needs: tools.read lists operations, tools.run runs them, and Transfer has separate read, send and revoke permissions. The developer guides explain each API’s limits. To use ChatGPT or Claude, connect your assistant instead of copying a Key.

A call with a Key looks like this:
The secret
Keys
No Keys yet. Create one below; its secret is shown once, right after.
| Key | Scopes | Rate | Expires | Status | Last used | Actions |
|---|
Tighten
A Key can only be narrowed: fewer Scopes, a lower rate, an earlier expiry. The secret stays the same. Rotation keeps the Scopes and the rate as well, so a Key that needs more is a new Key.

AI assistants
No assistant is connected. To connect ChatGPT or Claude, add a connector with the address and sign in when it asks; the steps for each assistant.

Usage
One line per call made with a Key, kept for 90 days. Bytes: for a call that created a Transfer, what the Transfer holds, which counts against the same allowance as the pages; for a tool run, the files sent to the tool plus the results it made, which use no Transfer allowance.

Questions
Where is the secret kept?
Only in your own secret store. Matrix keeps a hash of it, which cannot be turned back into the secret, and shows the secret once, right after you create or rotate the Key. If it is lost, rotate the Key: that issues a new secret and lets the old one work for a chosen time, or stops it at once.
What does a Key cost?
Nothing by itself. Calls count against the same monthly allowance and plan limits as the browser pages, so a Key on the Free plan sends what the Free plan allows.
What is not here yet?
Projects, a separate test environment and an API wallet with its own balance. Keys for the Transfer API and connections for ChatGPT and Claude (the AI assistants card, and how to connect one) are here; the rest follows in later steps.
