Authentication

Honeycomb API key compound discovered Get key ↗

X-Honeycomb-Team: <credential> /Authorization: Bearer <credential>

Log in to the Honeycomb UI for your region and create an API key under team or environment settings. Honeycomb documents three key types in Authentication: Ingest, Configuration, and Management. Use the key type required by the surface or operation. Ingest keys are used as the full concatenated key value in X-Honeycomb-Team; Configuration keys use the environment Token in X-Honeycomb-Team; Management keys are created in the UI only and are sent as Authorization: Bearer <key-id>:<secret>. For MCP headless setup, the docs explicitly tell you to create a Management API Key in Honeycomb and paste it into your agent config in Connect to Honeycomb MCP.
