# Harmony — Sign up & get an API key

This page moved. Signing up, connecting a repository and getting a key are one
flow now, on one page:

**<https://gethmy.com/connect.md>**

Run `hmy connect` there (`npx @gethmy/mcp connect` on a machine you cannot
install to). It creates the account with `--new`, signs in without a browser
with `--device`, and mints what the MCP server needs — so no step here is lost.

If you only want a REST API key, mint one at <https://gethmy.com/user/keys> and
send it in the **`X-API-Key`** header. Never send an `hmy_` key as
`Authorization: Bearer`; that answers 401.

This path keeps serving so older links and pasted commands still resolve.
