With no key your agent can search, scrape, map and parse, and read the parsers marked keyless: true in the parser list, up to 10 calls a minute and 50 a day. Reddit search, YouTube transcripts and Google Maps search are among those parsers.

Add an API key

For every endpoint, create a key and send it to the same URL. Keep it in STOPHY_API_KEY or your client’s secret settings, never in a file you commit.

claude mcp add --transport http stophy https://api.stophy.dev/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $STOPHY_API_KEY"

codex mcp add stophy --url https://api.stophy.dev/mcp --bearer-token-env-var STOPHY_API_KEY

{
  "inputs": [
    { "type": "promptString", "id": "stophy-key", "description": "Stophy API key", "password": true }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "stophy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.stophy.dev/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:stophy-key}" }
    }
  }
}

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "stophy": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://api.stophy.dev/mcp",
      "enabled": true,
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer {env:STOPHY_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks for the key the first time the server starts and stores it securely. A key that is wrong is refused. Remove the header to go back to the free endpoints. In Cursor, Windsurf and Gemini CLI, use browser sign-in instead of a key.

Check it

Ask your agent this.

Search YouTube for "rust tutorial" and summarize the top three videos.

If stophy shows no tools, restart your client.
