How to control api key permissions with your AI

Connect Resend to your AI client once. From then on, you can manage your account's access permissions through simple chat commands.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I manage Resend API keys with my AI?

Yes. You can tell your AI to generate new scoped keys, show you what's currently active, or kill old ones. This gives you direct control over your Resend permissions without digging through the dashboard.

Permission management outcomes.

Where your access control lands.

Your AI handles the technical execution of these three tasks.

NEW ACCESS

Create scoped keys

Your AI generates a new key with specific permissions. You get a fresh credential ready for a new service.

AUDIT

View active keys

The AI pulls a list of every key currently in your Resend account. You'll see exactly what access is live.

SECURITY

Revoke permissions

If a key is compromised or no longer needed, your AI deletes it immediately. This stops any further access from that key.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide which scopes to request and which keys to kill. The AI only acts on your specific commands.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Resend API.

  1. Identify current access

    The AI checks your existing Resend environment to see which keys are already in use.

    list_api_keys

  2. Generate new credentials

    When you ask for a new key, the AI requests a specific scoped credential from Resend.

    create_api_key

  3. Remove old keys

    If you identify a key that shouldn't be there, the AI sends a request to revoke it.

    delete_api_key

  4. Confirm changes

    The AI reports back whether the key was successfully created or removed so you know the state of your account.

    list_api_keys

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can my AI change my Resend account password?

    No. This MCP only has tools to manage API keys, not account credentials or passwords.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete all my keys if I'm not careful?

    No. The AI only deletes a specific key if you explicitly name it in your command.

  • 03

    Can I see the actual secret value of a key after it's created?

    No. The AI can create and list keys, but it cannot retrieve the plain-text secret of an existing key.

  • 04

    Does the AI need my Resend login every time?

    No. You connect once, and the connection stays active through Vinkius.

  • 05

    Can the AI create keys with any permission level?

    Yes, as long as you specify the scope you want in your prompt.
