NekoHub supports two authentication methods for management APIs.

​
JWT Bearer

Use JWT when the request acts on behalf of a logged-in user. First call POST /api/v1/auth/login, then send: 
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
Example: 
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs..." \
  http://localhost:5121/api/v1/assets
JWT is the only accepted method for:
  • POST /api/v1/auth/logout
  • GET /api/v1/auth/me

​
API key

Use API keys for scripts, automation, CI/CD, and MCP. API keys also use the Authorization header. Do not use the legacy custom header form: 
Authorization: Bearer <api_key>
Example: 
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
  http://localhost:5121/api/v1/assets
Enable it with: 
Auth__ApiKey__Enabled=true
Auth__ApiKey__Keys__0=your-strong-random-key
/mcp only accepts API keys.
