# Managed profiles and MCP

> HTML version: https://zapped.to/api-documentation/managed-profiles
> Authentication: an API key with the permissions each operation lists, sent as `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY`. Owners create one on the API keys page.

Let an integration or AI assistant prepare private profile drafts and imports, ask the account owner to review them, and publish only the exact versions the owner approved.

## Base URL

```text
https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles
```

## Request headers

```text
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY
Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22
Content-Type: application/json for JSON requests. For media uploads, send multipart/form-data with the boundary set by your HTTP client.
```

## Before you begin

- This API uses an [API key](https://zapped.to/account-api) holding the profile permissions each operation lists. Give it only the permissions your tool needs.
- Every operation is a `POST`. Each key has 60 requests per minute, at most 15 in any 10 seconds, and an account has 120 per minute across all its keys with at most 2 in progress at once. Responses carry `RateLimit-Remaining`. JSON bodies are limited to 256 KB and media files to 7 MB.
- Responses are an envelope: `success`, `api_version`, then `data` or `error` with a stable `code`.
- Publishing always waits for the owner's approval of the exact version on the review page.

## Typical workflow

1. **Prepare:** `profiles/open` then `profiles/autosave`, `profiles/media` and `profiles/blocks` for existing profiles. Create new profiles through `imports/preview` then `imports`, including a one-row import. There is no standalone create or visual-preview operation.
2. **Follow imports:** poll `imports/status` until every row has an outcome.
3. **Revoke a key:** new requests are refused immediately, and unfinished rows and pending imported photos cannot be applied. Cleanup records cancellation in background batches, so status may take time to settle. Completed rows keep their results, and an owner can still act on a review already requested. A different authorized key retrying the same import gets the original job in its current state; it does not restart cancelled work. Changing the body under the same retry key returns a conflict.
4. **Key expiry:** new requests stop, but previously accepted imports and photos can continue and still count toward waiting-row capacity. Revoke the key to stop its unfinished work. Dashboard imports are independent of tool keys.
5. **Ask for review:** `profiles/reviews` returns a `review_url`. Give it to the account owner, then poll `profiles/reviews/status`.
6. **Publish:** `profiles/publish` with the approved revisions. A lost response can be retried; a finished publication returns `already_published`.

## Worked example

Import two people, follow the job, ask the account owner to review the new card, then publish it. IDs and revisions are placeholders; use the values your own responses return.

### Find a card ID

You only need a card ID to update a card that was not created by your import. Open the card in the editor: the number at the end of the address, as in `https://zapped.to/vcard-update/123`, is its ID. Or list the account's cards with [`GET /api/vcards`](https://zapped.to/api-documentation/vcards) using a key that also holds the `vcards:read` permission; each card's ID is its `id`.

```bash
curl 'https://zapped.to/api/vcards/' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY'
```

### 1. Submit the import (POST /imports)

Send one row per person. A row without vcard_id creates a private draft card the first time its external_id is seen and updates that same card on later imports. To update a card you already have, add its vcard_id. Nothing is published.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/imports' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY' \
  -H 'Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "retry_key": "import-2026-09-25-a",
    "rows": [
        {
            "external_id": "person-001",
            "command": {
                "name": "Ada Example",
                "theme": "boston",
                "settings": {
                    "job_title": "Designer"
                },
                "contacts": {
                    "email": "ada@example.com",
                    "phone": "+15550100100"
                },
                "photo_url": "https://photos.example.com/ada.jpg"
            }
        },
        {
            "external_id": "person-002",
            "vcard_id": 123,
            "command": {
                "settings": {
                    "job_title": "Head of Sales"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}'
```

#### Response 202 Accepted

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "api_version": "2026-09-22",
    "data": {
        "job_id": 456,
        "status": "accepted",
        "created": true
    }
}
```

### 2. Poll the import status (POST /imports/status)

Rows run in the background. Poll every few seconds until status is complete and pending is 0. Each row reports created, updated, unchanged, invalid, conflict, cancelled or pending, with the card ID and, when a row was not applied as sent, a detail. A row with a photo_url also reports photo: pending until the photo is fetched, then attached, or not_attached with a photo_detail. Keep polling while photos.pending is above 0 if you need the photo result.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/imports/status' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY' \
  -H 'Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "job_id": 456
}'
```

#### Response 200 OK

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "api_version": "2026-09-22",
    "data": {
        "job_id": 456,
        "status": "complete",
        "row_count": 2,
        "pending": 0,
        "paused": false,
        "rows": [
            {
                "external_id": "person-001",
                "outcome": "created",
                "vcard_id": 124,
                "detail": null,
                "photo": "attached",
                "photo_detail": null
            },
            {
                "external_id": "person-002",
                "outcome": "updated",
                "vcard_id": 123,
                "detail": null,
                "photo": null,
                "photo_detail": null
            }
        ],
        "photos": {
            "pending": 0,
            "attached": 1,
            "not_attached": 0
        }
    }
}
```

### 3. Read the new draft's revisions (POST /profiles/open)

A review names the exact revisions the owner will see, so open each card first. Send these numbers unchanged in the next steps.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/profiles/open' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY' \
  -H 'Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "vcard_id": 124
}'
```

#### Response 200 OK

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "api_version": "2026-09-22",
    "data": {
        "vcard_id": 124,
        "draft_revision": 1,
        "published_revision": 0
    }
}
```

### 4. Request the owner's review (POST /profiles/reviews)

Give review_url to the account owner. Only the owner, signed in to Zapped, can approve or reject on that page; an API key cannot approve.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/profiles/reviews' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY' \
  -H 'Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "items": [
        {
            "vcard_id": 124,
            "expected_draft_revision": 1,
            "expected_published_revision": 0
        }
    ]
}'
```

#### Response 201 Created

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "api_version": "2026-09-22",
    "data": {
        "review_id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6",
        "review_url": "https://zapped.to/managed-profile-review/a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6",
        "expires_at": "2026-10-02 09:00:00",
        "created": true,
        "items": [
            {
                "vcard_id": 124,
                "draft_revision": 1,
                "published_revision": 0,
                "decision": "pending"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

### 5. Poll the review (POST /profiles/reviews/status)

Poll now and then, for example once a minute, since every poll counts toward the key's quota. Publish only items whose decision is approved. A stale item means the draft changed after the request: open it again and request a new review.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/profiles/reviews/status' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY' \
  -H 'Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "review_id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6"
}'
```

#### Response 200 OK

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "api_version": "2026-09-22",
    "data": {
        "review_id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6",
        "expires_at": "2026-10-02 09:00:00",
        "expired": false,
        "items": [
            {
                "vcard_id": 124,
                "draft_revision": 1,
                "published_revision": 0,
                "decision": "approved",
                "published": false,
                "result_published_revision": null
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

### 6. Publish the approved revisions (POST /profiles/publish)

Send the approved revisions exactly. If the response is lost or says commit_outcome_unknown, send the same request again: a publication that was saved answers with already_published set to true.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/profiles/publish' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY' \
  -H 'Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "vcard_id": 124,
    "expected_draft_revision": 1,
    "expected_published_revision": 0
}'
```

#### Response 200 OK

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "api_version": "2026-09-22",
    "data": {
        "vcard_id": 124,
        "published": true,
        "published_revision": 1
    }
}
```

Over MCP the same steps are the tools `submit_import`, `get_import_job`, `open_profile`, `request_review`, `get_review` and `publish_approved`, with the request fields above as arguments. `get_import_job` reports each row by its position in the import instead of its external_id.

## Endpoints

### Open a profile draft /profiles/open (POST)

Requires scope vcards:write. A nonexistent card and another owner's card return the same denial, so this operation cannot be used to enumerate which card ids exist.

#### api_documentation.endpoint

`POST https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/profiles/open` (Permission: vcards:write)

#### api_documentation.example

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/profiles/open' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY' \
  -H 'Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "vcard_id": 123
}'
```

| api_documentation.parameters | Details | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| vcard_id | api_documentation.required, integer | The card to work on. Another owner's card and a missing card are refused the same way. |

#### Response data

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| vcard_id | integer | The card to work on. Another owner's card and a missing card are refused the same way. |
| draft_revision | integer | Current private draft revision; supply it as expected_draft_revision on the next write. |
| published_revision | integer | Current published revision; supply it as expected_published_revision on the next write. |

#### Status codes

200, 400, 401, 403, 405, 409, 413, 415, 422, 429, 500, 503

### Save a profile draft revision /profiles/autosave (POST)

Requires scope vcards:write. Both expected revisions are mandatory: a stale or replayed revision returns 409 rather than overwriting a newer human edit.

#### api_documentation.endpoint

`POST https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/profiles/autosave` (Permission: vcards:write)

#### api_documentation.example

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/profiles/autosave' \

    }
}'
```

| expected_draft_revision | api_documentation.required, integer | The draft_revision from your last response. A newer edit by a person returns 409. |
| expected_published_revision | api_documentation.required, integer | The published_revision from your last response. |
| payload | api_documentation.required, object | Only name, description, theme and settings may be sent. Only the fields you send change. Code, address, domain, pixels, branding, visibility and redirect settings stay with the owner's own editor and are refused with 422 unsupported_field. Text that contains characters which hide or reorder it is refused with 422 invalid_characters. |
| partial | api_documentation.optional, boolean | Accepted for compatibility. An integration's autosave always keeps every field it does not send. |

#### Response data

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| vcard_id | integer | The card to work on. Another owner's card and a missing card are refused the same way. |
| draft_revision | integer | Current private draft revision; supply it as expected_draft_revision on the next write. |
| published_revision | integer | Current published revision; supply it as expected_published_revision on the next write. |

200, 400, 401, 403, 409, 413, 415, 422, 429, 500, 503

### Validate a CSV import and report per-row outcomes /imports/preview (POST)

Requires scope import:write. Reports what would happen and reserves nothing: no job, row, identity or capacity is created. Mappable fields: external_id (required), name, description, url, theme, company, job_title, email, phone, website and photo. Email, phone and website cells are checked with the block editor's rules; an empty cell keeps the current block. A photo cell that is an address (https://) is checked with the fetch policy but never fetched here; any other photo value is matched against the photos map, and a referenced photo is accepted only when it belongs to this owner.

#### api_documentation.endpoint

`POST https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/imports/preview` (Permission: import:write)

#### api_documentation.example

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://zapped.to/api/managed-profiles/imports/preview' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY' \

| csv | api_documentation.required, string | The complete CSV text, including the header row. |
| photos | api_documentation.optional, object | Photo cell value to the ID of a draft media asset the account owner already holds. Other values are ignored. |

#### Response data

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| counts | object |  |
| rows | array of object | Up to 500 rows, one per person. Each has an external_id and a command. A command may carry contacts (email, phone and website, which become contact blocks the import owns) and a photo_url, an https:// image address the scheduler fetches after the row runs. |

#### Status codes

200, 400, 401, 403, 413, 415, 422, 429, 500, 503

### Accept an import job /imports (POST)

Requires scope import:write. Returns a job id only after a confirmed commit. Retry semantics: the same (owner, operation, retry_key) with the same input digest returns the existing job (200); a different digest under the same key is a conflict (409) and alters nothing; another owner may reuse the same key independently. A retry key is not a JSON-RPC id and must not be replaced to force a fresh job after a lost response.

#### api_documentation.endpoint

A command may carry contacts (email, phone and website, which become contact blocks the import owns) and a photo_url, an https:// image address the scheduler fetches after the row runs. |

#### Response data

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |

### Read an import job and its per-row results /imports/status (POST)

Requires scope import:write. Returns the job status and, per row in submission order, its outcome (created, updated, unchanged, invalid, conflict, cancelled or pending) and profile ID. Another owner's job and a missing job both answer 404. Each row also reports its photo address state (photo and photo_detail), and photos counts them.

| status | string |  |
| row_count | integer |  |
| pending | integer |  |
| paused | boolean | True while managed profile drafts are turned off. Pending rows keep their place and run when drafts are turned back on; status stays accepted or running. |
| rows | array of object | Up to 500 rows, one per person. Each has an external_id and a command. A command may carry contacts (email, phone and website, which become contact blocks the import owns) and a photo_url, an https:// image address the scheduler fetches after the row runs. |

#### Status codes

200, 400, 401, 403, 404, 413, 415, 422, 429, 500, 503

### Add a headshot, logo or cover image to a draft /profiles/media (POST)

Requires scope vcards:write. multipart/form-data with vcard_id, role (avatar, logo or cover), both expected revisions and file. The file limit is 7340032 bytes (7 MB), or the server's lower upload limit, which a 413 reports as limit_bytes; each role's own type and dimension rules still apply. With media framing on, the image is prepared and applied with the editor's default framing in one request. Advances the draft revision by one.

### Create, update or delete a contact, link, social or video block /profiles/blocks (POST)

Requires scope vcards:write. Allowed types: link, email, phone, address, the social networks, youtubevideo and savecontact. Custom HTML, lead forms and payment links stay in the dashboard. A create with a client_key already in the draft is acknowledged without a second block, even with the old revision. Update and delete name the block by vcard_block_id or client_key.

### Ask the owner to review exact draft revisions /profiles/reviews (POST)

Requires scope vcards:write. Records a review of up to 25 profiles at their current revisions and returns review_url, the owner-only dashboard page where the owner sees a preview of each exact revision and approves or rejects it. A credential cannot approve. A stale revision is 409; a foreign and a missing card are the same 403. Retrying an identical pending request with the same credential returns the existing review and HTTP 200. A changed, decided, expired, or stale request can create a new review. An optional retry_key binds a retry to the first call: the same key with the same items returns that review (HTTP 200, created false) whatever happened to it since, and the same key with different items is 409 retry_key_reused. A key is scoped to the account and is free again once its review is purged, 90 days after it expired.

### Publish exactly the revision the owner approved /profiles/publish (POST)

Requires scope publish:write and owner approval of the exact current revisions. The review receipt commits atomically with publication. Retrying the same request after an uncertain response returns HTTP 200 with already_published true and the stored published_revision, without republishing. An absent or stale approval returns 409.

## Status codes

| Status | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 200 | Success, or an idempotent repeat that returns the stored result. |
| 201 | Created. |
| 202 | Accepted for background processing. |
| 400 | The request is malformed, or the version header is missing or unsupported. |
| 401 | The API key is missing, invalid, expired or revoked. |
| 403 | insufficient_scope: the key lacks the permission named in required_scope. forbidden: the plan lacks the feature, or the card is not available. |
| 404 | The job or review does not exist for this owner. |
| 405 | Use POST. |
| 409 | The draft changed since your revisions, or the owner has not approved this version. |
| 413 | The body is too large. |
| 415 | Use application/json, or multipart/form-data for media. |
| 422 | A field is invalid. The error code names the problem. |
| 429 | rate_limited, too_many_concurrent_requests, import_backlog_full or review_backlog_full. Wait for Retry-After. |
| 500 | The server could not complete the request. Retry the same request. |
| 503 | machine_access_disabled, quota_unavailable or service_unavailable. Machine access or its storage is temporarily unavailable. |

## Error codes

A failed request answers `success: false` with `error.code`, one of the codes below, and a readable `error.message`. Codes are stable; messages may change. Over MCP, `unauthenticated`, `insufficient_scope`, every 429 and every 503 arrive as JSON-RPC errors with the code in `data.code`, `unknown_tool` is JSON-RPC error -32602, and every other code is a tool result with `isError` set and the code in `structuredContent.code`.

| Code | Status | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `unsupported_version` | 400 REST only | The Zapped-Api-Version header is missing or is not 2026-09-22. | Send Zapped-Api-Version: 2026-09-22 on every request. |
| `invalid_body` | 400 REST only | The body is not one JSON object, or it cannot be read. | Send a single JSON object with Content-Type: application/json. |
| `unknown_tool` | 400 MCP only | The tool name is not one this server offers. MCP reports it as JSON-RPC error -32602. | Call tools/list and use one of the listed names. |
| `unauthenticated` | 401 | The API key is missing, invalid, expired or revoked. MCP reports it as JSON-RPC error -32001 with HTTP 401. | Send Authorization: Bearer with an active key. Create a new key if this one was revoked or has expired. |
| `insufficient_scope` | 403 | The key lacks the permission the operation needs; error.required_scope names it. MCP reports it as JSON-RPC error -32003 with HTTP 403 and a WWW-Authenticate challenge. | Use a key that holds that permission, or add it to this key on the API keys page. |
| `forbidden` | 403 | The plan does not include imports, the account is not active, or the card is not this account's. A card that does not exist answers the same way. | Check that the card ID belongs to the key's account and that the plan includes the feature. Retrying will not help. |
| `not_found` | 404 | The operation, import job or review does not exist for this account. | Check the path, job_id or review_id. |
| `method_not_allowed` | 405 REST only | The operation was called with a method other than POST. | Use POST. |
| `draft_conflict` | 409 | The draft changed after the revisions you sent, for example because a person edited it in the editor. | Open the profile again, check the current draft, and resend your change with the new revisions. Never overwrite blindly. |
| `published_revision_conflict` | 409 | The published card changed after the revisions you sent. | Open the profile again and resend your change with the new revisions. |
| `client_key_conflict` | 409 REST only | The block client_key already names a different block. | Use a new client_key for a new block, or update the block that already has this key. |
| `approval_conflict` | 409 | The owner's approval changed or expired, or the draft changed after it was approved. | Request a new review for the current revisions and wait for the owner to approve it. |
| `not_approved` | 409 | The owner has not approved these exact revisions. | Request a review, give review_url to the account owner, poll the review until the profile is approved, then publish those revisions. |
| `no_unpublished_changes` | 409 | There is nothing new to publish for this profile. | Open the profile to read its current revisions. There is nothing to retry. |
| `payload_too_large` | 413 | The JSON body is over 256 KB, or the media file is over the upload limit (error.limit_bytes). MCP reports an oversized body as JSON-RPC error -32600 with HTTP 413. | Split the import into smaller requests, or send a smaller image. |
| `unsupported_media_type` | 415 REST only | The Content-Type is not application/json, or not multipart/form-data for a media upload. | Send the Content-Type the operation lists. |
| `invalid_request` | 400 or 422 | A required field is missing, or a value has the wrong type, range or format; the message names it. MCP returns 400 only when the tool arguments are not an object. | Fix the field and send the request again. MCP clients can check arguments against the tool's inputSchema first. |
| `unsupported_field` | 422 | The request tries to change something an integration may not change: the profile address (url), custom code, pixels, domain, branding, or a setting that redirects or changes card behaviour. | Remove the field. The owner changes these in the editor. |
| `invalid_characters` | 422 | A text field contains characters that hide or reorder text, such as bidirectional overrides, zero-width spaces or the byte order mark. The message names the field. | Remove those characters and send the text again. |
| `validation_failed` | 422 | The value failed the editor's own checks: an image of the wrong type or size, an invalid block value, or a publication check. The message says which. | Fix the value and send the request again. |
| `retry_key_reused` | 409 | This retry_key was already used for an import or a review request with different input. | Use a new unique retry_key, such as a UUID, for new input; keys are shared by every integration of the account. Reuse a key only to retry exactly the same request. |
| `drafts_disabled` | 503 | Managed profile drafts are turned off for this deployment, so no new import is accepted. An import already running pauses and resumes when drafts are turned back on. | Retry later. The import status reports paused: true while drafts are off. |
| `rate_limited` | 429 | The key's minute quota (60), its 10 second burst window (15), or the account's minute total across all keys (120) is used up. MCP reports it as JSON-RPC error -32002 with HTTP 429. | Wait the Retry-After seconds, then retry. |
| `too_many_concurrent_requests` | 429 | Too many requests are in progress for this account (2) or this server (6). | Wait 2 seconds and retry. Send one request at a time per account. |
| `import_backlog_full` | 429 | Accepting these rows would leave more than 2000 import rows waiting for this account. | Wait 60 seconds or until earlier imports finish, or send fewer rows. |
| `review_backlog_full` | 429 | The account already has 50 review requests waiting for the owner. | Ask the owner to decide the pending reviews, or retry after 3600 seconds. |
| `server_error` | 500 | The server could not complete the request. | Retry the same request after a short wait. Contact support if it keeps failing. |
| `commit_outcome_unknown` | 500 | The server could not confirm whether the write was saved. | For publication, retry the same request: a publication that was saved answers already_published. For media and blocks, open the profile and check its revisions before retrying. |
| `publish_failed` | 500 | The publication did not complete, and nothing was published. | Retry the same publish request. |
| `machine_access_disabled` | 503 | Managed profile API access is switched off for this site. MCP reports every 503 as JSON-RPC error -32003 with HTTP 503. | Retrying will not help until access is switched on again. Contact support. |
| `quota_unavailable` | 503 | The request quota could not be checked, so the request was refused rather than let through unmetered. No Retry-After header is sent. | Retry with exponential backoff, starting at a few seconds. |
| `service_unavailable` | 503 | The API key storage is temporarily unavailable. | Retry with exponential backoff, starting at a few seconds. |

An import row that is not applied is not an error: the import succeeds and `imports/status` reports the row as `invalid` or `conflict` with a `detail`. A publication that was saved but deferred its follow-up work still answers 200 with `published` set to true.

## MCP tools

The same workflow is available to AI assistants over MCP (Streamable HTTP, protocol 2025-11-25), with the API key as a bearer header. A tool whose permission the key lacks is listed as unavailable.

## Connect an assistant

Pick your tool. Create a key on the [API keys](https://zapped.to/account-api) page, then use it in place of `YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY`.

**Claude Code**

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user zapped 'https://zapped.to/mcp' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY'
```

Run once in a terminal. It connects Claude Code everywhere you use it, including the Code tab in the Claude desktop app and the IDE extensions.

**Codex**

```bash
export ZAPPED_KEY='YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY'
codex mcp add zapped --url 'https://zapped.to/mcp' \
  --bearer-token-env-var ZAPPED_KEY
```

Run once in a terminal. Codex reads the key from ZAPPED_KEY when it starts, so also set that variable in your shell profile. The Codex app and IDE extension use the same setting.

**Cursor and others**

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "zapped": {
            "url": "https://zapped.to/mcp",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Most other tools that take a server address with headers use the same shape.

**VS Code**

```json
{
    "servers": {
        "zapped": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://zapped.to/mcp",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:zapped-key}"
            }
        }
    },
    "inputs": [
        {
            "type": "promptString",
            "id": "zapped-key",
            "description": "Zapped integration key",
            "password": true
        }
    ]
}
```

Add to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the key when it connects, so the file never holds it.

**OpenCode**

```json
{
    "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
    "mcp": {
        "zapped": {
            "type": "remote",
            "url": "https://zapped.to/mcp",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer {env:ZAPPED_KEY}"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

Add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json for all projects, or opencode.json in one project. OpenCode reads the key from ZAPPED_KEY, so set that variable in your shell profile: export ZAPPED_KEY='YOUR_INTEGRATION_KEY'.

## Theme keys

Use a key from this list in the Theme column of a CSV import, in the `theme` field of `profiles/autosave` and of import commands, and in the MCP tools. Keys are case sensitive and must match exactly. Leave the theme out, or the CSV cell blank, to keep the card's current theme; a new card gets the default theme.
