## FAQ

### Can I use my live Paystack secret key?

No, only test keys starting with `sk_test_` are allowed. The server validates this at startup and will reject live keys for security.

### How do I provide my API key to the server?

You can provide your API key as a CLI argument using `--api-key` or by setting the `PAYSTACK_TEST_SECRET_KEY` environment variable.

### What tools are available through this MCP server?

The server provides `get_paystack_operation` to fetch operation details and `make_paystack_request` to execute Paystack API requests.
