How to generate documentation security tokens with your AI

Connect Fern to your AI client once. From there, your agent handles the technical work of fetching secure keys for your docs.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I get my AI to make security tokens for my docs?

You just ask your agent for the specific key you need. It calls Fern to grab a JWT or an Algolia search key, giving you the credentials to secure your documentation. Here is how that works.

Where every token lands.

Security outcomes

The AI handles the API calls and hands you the usable credentials.

JWT

Secure JWTs

The AI pulls a JSON Web Token via Fern. You get a valid token to authorize API or doc access.

ALGOLIA

Search keys

Your agent fetches Algolia search keys. These let you restrict search access within your docs.

AUTH

Access control

The AI manages the request for specific permissions. You get the keys without manual setup.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide which keys to request. The AI won't generate anything unless you ask for it.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a token.

The AI translates your request into specific tool calls to Fern.

  1. Identify the token type

    Your agent determines if you need a JWT or a search key based on your prompt.

    get_jwt

  2. Fetch JWT

    The AI calls the tool to pull a JSON Web Token for your documentation.

    get_jwt

  3. Fetch search keys

    If you need to secure your search index, the AI pulls the Algolia credentials.

    get_search_key

  4. Deliver the key

    The AI provides the raw token or key directly in your chat window.

    get_jwtget_search_key

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my existing tokens?

    No. The AI only has tools to fetch new tokens, not to manage or delete existing ones.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my Fern configuration?

    No. The AI can only use the specific tools provided to fetch JWTs and search keys.

  • 03

    Does the AI store the keys it generates?

    No. The AI retrieves the key and shows it to you; it doesn't save it to a database.

  • 04

    Can I get a token for a different service?

    No. This MCP is built specifically for Fern documentation security.

  • 05

    Will the AI generate tokens without my permission?

    No. The AI only acts when you give it a direct command in chat.
