# Quickstart

> Create an API Key, connect an AI client, and run your first Sendify MCP query

Connect to Sendify MCP by creating an API Key, configuring your client, and running one real query.

**1. Create an API Key**

In the Sendify console, open:

```text theme={null}
Open Capabilities / API Keys / Create key
```

Use a name that identifies both the person and client, such as `lili-codex-desktop`, `marketing-team-cursor`, or `reporting-claude-code`.

> [!WARNING]
>
> The full API Key is displayed only once. Save it immediately in a password manager or the client's secret store. Never place it in Git, public documentation, or a shared AI conversation.

**2. Configure your AI client**

Use these connection details:

```text theme={null}
URL: https://mcp.sendify.dingstore.cn/dmx/mcp/v2
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

Follow the client-specific instructions in [Configure an AI client](https://docs.sendify.dingstore.cn/en/mcp/client-config.md).

**3. Run a real query**

Restart the client completely, then ask:

> List my 20 most recent Sendify campaigns. Return the name, state, and campaign ID.

If the response includes real campaign names and IDs from your account, the endpoint, authentication, and data permissions are working.
