How to authenticate with the Nomad Media MCP Server using API keys or username/password.

MCP Server Authentication

The Nomad Media MCP Server supports both authentication methods available in the Nomad Media API:

  • Username/Password — Use the standard login flow to obtain a JWT token, then pass it as a Bearer token.
  • API Key — Send your API key directly in the Authorization header using the Bearer token scheme.
Authorization: Bearer {{api-key-value}}

It is generally recommended to use the Username/Password flow to generate a valid token.
