Email verification
Fastest path to a key
- Sign up at console.groq.com (email or Google OAuth)
- Email verificationVerify email (email signups)
- Free tier is on immediately with no card
- console.groq.com/keys > Create API Key (project-scoped)
- export GROQ_API_KEY and call the OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- Working API key
Biggest gap
There is no agent-native auth at all, and the only MCP is a local uvx package that needs a pasted key.
Worth copying
Free tier with no card and no phone. One email or Google click gets a usable key in about 2 minutes.

Biggest gains
- +12 Remote MCP server for the product. Host a remote MCP server (e.g. mcp.<domain>/mcp, Streamable HTTP) for your core actions.
- +8 Machine-readable API spec. Publish an OpenAPI spec at a stable URL like /openapi.json and link it from llms.txt.
- +6 Agents can self-register OAuth clients. Support dynamic client registration (RFC 7591) or client ID metadata documents so MCP clients connect in one click.
