Configure credentials
Run REST examples with an appropriately scoped API key stored in a protected environment variable. The quickstart usesTRUCKERFETCH_API_KEY. Follow each repository’s documented environment contract and keep real keys out of committed .env files, logs and issue reports.
Use hosted MCP when your client supports the OAuth flow. Choose the local bridge when your environment expects stdio and you intend to authenticate through a REST key. Neither path changes the account’s Pro entitlement, scopes or shared usage limits.
