Learn where your license key goes and what your agent writes with it.
License key
Only required for pro components.
Put the key in a git-ignored .env.local at the root of your project:
ATELIER_PRO_KEY=<your-license-key>${ATELIER_PRO_KEY} and never sees the value.You never have to write this yourself unless you install manually or set up MCP. Your agent adds the @atelier entry to components.json the first time you install a pro component:
{
"registries": {
"@atelier": {
"url": "https://www.atelier-ui.com/r/{name}.json",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${ATELIER_PRO_KEY}"
}
}
}
}An entry pointing at an empty ATELIER_PRO_KEY stops every install, free components included.
