Authentication
Releases API key api_key declared
Authorization: Bearer <credential> Optional. Search, browse, and MCP reads work with no credential; presenting a token raises your rate-limit tier (anonymous < signed-in account < machine token) and unlocks account-scoped actions. Sign in with releases login — it opens your browser (OAuth device authorization) and mints a personal, read-only key (relu_…). Already issued a token (e.g. a write/admin relk_… key during the closed beta)? Store it with releases auth login --token <token>. The token is sent to https://api.releases.sh (and https://mcp.releases.sh) as Authorization: Bearer <token>; RELEASES_API_KEY in the environment overrides the stored credential (handy for CI).
