How do I find my MaintainX API Key?

Log in to your MaintainX account as an admin, navigate to Settings > Integrations, and click 'New Key' to generate your token. Your token is encrypted at rest and injected securely at runtime.

What status codes should I use for work orders?

Common status codes include 'OPEN', 'IN_PROGRESS', 'DONE', and 'ON_HOLD'. Use the `update_work_order_status` tool with these values.

Can I see which asset is linked to a work order?

Yes, when using `list_maintenance_orders`, you can provide `params` with `include=assets` to see linked equipment names in the results.
