+ ### Why Configure an API Key?
51
+
52
+ Without an API key, you're limited to **10 total requests** (trial mode). With a free Community account, you get **30 requests/minute** with access to all live skills.
53
+
54
+ **Benefits of API key:**
55
+ - Access to live indexed skills (not just cached)
56
+ - Higher rate limits based on your tier
57
+ - Usage tracking on your dashboard
58
+ - Priority during high-traffic periods
59
+
60
+ ### API Key Configuration (SMI-1953)
61
+
62
+ **Step 1:** Get your API key from https://skillsmith.app/account
63
+
64
+ **Step 2:** Add to your Claude settings at `~/.claude/settings.json`:
65
+
66
+ ```json
67
+ {
68
+ "mcpServers": {
69
+ "skillsmith": {
70
+ "command": "npx",
71
+ "args": ["-y", "@skillsmith/mcp-server"],
72
+ "env": {
73
+ "SKILLSMITH_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here"
74
+ }
75
+ }
76
+ }
77
+ }
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ **Step 3:** Restart Claude Code (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → "Claude Code: Restart")
81
+
82
+ > **Security Note:** Never paste your API key in chat. Configure it via the settings file above, then reference it via `$SKILLSMITH_API_KEY` in commands. See [SMI-1956](https://linear.app/smith-horn-group/issue/SMI-1956).
