# Developer tools

> API keys, webhooks, exports and the MCP server

The developer area exposes the register to your own systems: a full API
with per-key permissions, webhooks for events, and an OData feed for
BI tools. Open **Developer** in the sidebar, or the **API and AI agent
access** section under [Integrations](/connect/integrations).

## API keys

External tools and AI agents connect through the same permissions model
as your users. The recommended pattern:

1. Create or pick a service identity in the workspace.
2. Assign the minimum role and permissions needed, read-only where
   possible.
3. Create an API key with matching scopes and an optional expiry date.
4. Use that key in your agent or integration.

Each key shows its scopes and when it was last used, so unused or
over-scoped keys are easy to spot and clean up.

## Webhooks

Subscribe an external system to events like `asset.created` and
`asset.updated`, and it gets a signed HTTP request the moment something
happens instead of having to poll. Each webhook's delivery history is
visible on its page, including failures, so a broken endpoint is easy to
diagnose. Verify the signature on your receiving end to confirm a
delivery genuinely came from World Asset Register.

## Data export

**Data export** configures a live, read-only OData v4 feed at
`/api/odata/Assets`. Power BI, Excel and Tableau connect to it natively,
authenticating with an API key or a workspace token. It supports
filtering and incremental queries, so a BI dashboard can pull only what's
changed since its last refresh instead of the whole register every time.

## MCP server

World Asset Register also runs an MCP server, so AI tools like Claude can
work with your register directly, using either an API key or Clerk-hosted
OAuth sign-in. This is the same permission-checked, generic-verb tool set
the in-app [AI assistant](/connect/ai-assistant) uses, so an external
agent is bound by exactly the same role and field access rules a human
member would be.
