# ModernLoop - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with ModernLoop, you need:

1. **API Key** — a ModernLoop API token for your organization.

This guide will show you how to get it.

### Prerequisites

* A ModernLoop account in the organization you want to connect, with access to create API tokens. If you don't see where to create one, ask your ModernLoop administrator or ModernLoop support.

### Step 1: Create an API token

1. Sign in to [ModernLoop](https://app.modernloop.io/) and create an API token for your organization.
2. Grant only the read and write scopes your integration needs. A call that needs a scope the token doesn't have fails with `INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE`. See [Required permissions](https://docs.modernloop.io/mcp/setup.md#required-permissions) for the list of scopes.
3. Copy the token.

The token is scoped to your organization and acts on behalf of the user who created it. See the [ModernLoop API docs](https://docs.modernloop.io/) for details.

### Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with ModernLoop.
2. Enter your token in the **API Key** field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to ModernLoop.
