If you've been blocked trying to connect Pendium to n8n, Bruno, Insomnia, or a Databricks HTTP connection, this is the fix. Those tools typically only support a static bearer token — they can't run the OAuth flow. You can now pass your pendium_… API key as Authorization: Bearer to both the MCP server and the /api/visibility/* REST endpoints.
OAuth remains the recommended path for MCP clients that support it. The API key is a fallback for environments where OAuth isn't an option, not a replacement. Your pendium_oauth_ tokens are unaffected and still only valid on the OAuth path.
