This quickstart walks you through everything you need to go from zero to your first successful mFoundry API call. By the end, you’ll have a verified account, a working API key, and a clear view of your projects dashboard — all in under five minutes.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
  • An mFoundry account — if you don’t have one yet, follow the Account Setup guide first.
  • A terminal with curl available (or any HTTP client of your choice).

​
Getting Started

1

Create Your Account

Navigate to app.mfoundry.io/signup and fill in your name, email address, and a strong password. After submitting the form, mFoundry sends a verification email to the address you provided — click the link inside to activate your account before moving on.
2

Generate an API Key

Once your account is active, log in and open the Settings menu from the top-right navigation. Select API Keys, then click New API Key. Give the key a descriptive name (for example, quickstart-key) and choose an optional expiry date. Click Create and copy the key immediately — mFoundry displays it only once for security reasons.
3

Make Your First API Call

With your API key in hand, run the following command in your terminal, replacing <your_api_key> with the key you just copied:
A successful response returns a JSON object containing your projects array:
If you see a 401 Unauthorized response, double-check that you’ve pasted the full token and that the Authorization header is formatted correctly.
4

Explore the Dashboard

Log in to app.mfoundry.io to see your projects visually. The dashboard gives you a real-time view of all your workflows, recent activity, and notifications. From here you can create new projects, configure integrations, and manage your team — everything in one place.
Keep your API keys secure. Never commit them to version control or share them in public channels. If a key is ever exposed, revoke it immediately from Settings > API Keys and generate a new one.
