Can I connect SDS Manager to other systems, or give an AI agent access to our data?

Two separate integration points live in Settings → Integrations and in Manage Account, for two different purposes:

• <b>API key</b> — Settings → Integrations has a "Generate API Key" button; the page's own description reads "Use this API key to authenticate with the SDS Manager API. The key provides access to the ecommerce and library endpoints," and once generated, it's passed in an <code>X-Ecommerce-Api-Key</code> header on API calls.
• <b>MCP Server Access</b> — a separate section in Manage Account, described as "Activate user access to the Chat AI Agent," with its own OK button to turn it on. This is a Model Context Protocol server — it's built to let an external AI agent (like Claude or another MCP-compatible assistant) connect directly to your organization's SDS Manager data rather than requiring someone to use the web app.

Generating an API key or turning on AI-agent access are account-level changes with real consequences (a live credential, and a new access path into your organization's data) — treat the resulting key/access the same as any other credential, and don't share it outside your organization.
