Authenticate

Most read commands work without a key at the FREE tier. Generate an API key from My Account → Platform API Keys for higher tiers and for MCP calls (which always require a scoped key), then either: 

export PHOENIX_API_KEY="phx_your_key_here"
# or
phoenix-cli configure --api-key phx_your_key_here
