Every AI client authenticates with a bearer token that Kron PAM issues to a single user. Generate the token in the Kron PAM interface, then paste the value into the configuration file of your client.

To generate an MCP access token:

1.    Log in to the Kron PAM interface.

2.    From the user menu, open the **User Profile** page.

3.    Click the **MCP Access Token** tab.

4.    In the **Access Token Duration** field, enter the lifetime of the token in seconds.

5.    Click the **Generate Token** button.

6.    In the **Access Token** field, click the eye icon to reveal the token, then click the copy icon to copy it.

7.    Paste the copied value into the configuration file of your AI client.
