# Generate an API token

> Create an API token to authenticate requests to the SuperPlanner API.

API tokens let you authenticate requests to the SuperPlanner API and connect third-party tools like the [MCP server](/superplanner/mcp).

## Steps

  <Step title="Open the SuperPlanner management object">
    In monday.com, navigate to your SuperPlanner management object.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to the Management tab">
    Select the **Management** tab inside the object.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate a token">

  </Step>
</Steps>
