Do I need an API key?

Yes. Every MCP server and Agent Skill authenticates with the same YouCam API key — get one for free from the API Console and reuse it across all three domain servers.

What's the difference between MCP and Agent Skill?

An MCP server connects your agent to YouCam tools over a live connection using your client's MCP configuration. An Agent Skill is a reusable, installable skill package that gives an agent the same capabilities without running a separate server.

Do Agent Skills require an MCP server?

No. Agent Skills work standalone — set YOUCAM_API_KEY in your environment and install the skill your agent needs.

Which agents & clients are supported?

Any MCP-compatible client or agent framework, including Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other agents that support custom tools or skills.

Usage is billed through your existing YouCam API plan — there's no separate charge for using MCP servers or Agent Skills.
