#OpenAI

OpenAI API access for chaining models or running batch jobs from agents. Multi-org keys.

#Get a token

Generate a Project API key (sk-proj-…) at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys.

#Recommended scopes

• Project-scoped keys preferred over user keys.
• Restrict permissions per project where possible — keys can drain credits fast.

#Add it to the vault

bash
mcpvault add openai

Example session:

text
$ mcpvault add openai
Label: aiside
API Key: sk-proj-••••
Organization: org-•••• (optional)
✓ Validated
✓ Saved.

#Tools exposed

• see upstream — completions, embeddings, files, batch, fine-tuning

#Switch to this account

In any chat client wired to mcpvault, ask:

Switch to my <label> OpenAI account.

The vault server's activate_account tool flips the active label. Wrappers re-read it on the next call — no restart.
