How clients sign in

Connecting a client opens the Benchmark sign-in page in your browser. After you sign in, the client uses the workspace selected in the workspace switcher. Clients that cannot open a browser can use an API key as the bearer token instead. Manage API keys.

After setup, use the content research skill with your task, scope, and credit budget. Read the MCP guide for the research workflow.
