Your API key is rejected
Open Account -> API key and check your current key.
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
Your configuration still contains YOUR_BRIXIES_API_KEY | Replace the placeholder with your active key. |
| You regenerated your key | Update every assistant configuration that uses the previous key. |
| Your key expired or was revoked | Generate a new key, then update your assistant’s configuration. |
| The copied key has extra spaces or missing characters | Copy it again and replace the value carefully. |
Save the configuration and restart the Brixies MCP connection after changing the key.
See Get your API key for instructions.
The error started after regenerating your key
After a successful regeneration, the previous key stops working immediately.
- Copy your new key from Account -> API key.
- Open your assistant’s local MCP configuration.
- Replace the previous key, preserving the surrounding quotation marks.
- Save the file.
- Restart the MCP connection and test it again.
Repeat this for every assistant or computer that uses the previous key.
Regenerating the key does not update your local configuration automatically.
Brixies reports a membership issue
Brixies MCP requires an active annual plan or lifetime access (LTD).
Check your plan in Account -> Billing.
Make sure the API key belongs to the account with access. If you have more than one Brixies account, the account used to generate the key must have the required plan.
Generating another API key does not restore an expired annual plan.
You cancelled automatic renewal
Cancelling automatic renewal does not end access before your paid period expires.
If that period has ended, renew your plan to restore membership access. Check your API key separately: an expired or revoked key must also be replaced in your assistant’s configuration.
The error continues after updating your key
- Confirm that you edited the configuration file your assistant actually uses.
- Check for a duplicate Brixies server entry that still contains the previous key.
- Make sure you saved the file.
- Fully restart the MCP connection.
- Run the connection test from your assistant’s guide.
Use the relevant setup guide:
If the assistant cannot find the Brixies tools at all, see Connection problems.
