# FlowLakes

FlowLakes is agentic service management for any team. An AI assistant
connects to it to open requests, track them and ask for approvals, with only
the permissions a person gives it.

## Connect in 3 steps

1. Get an instance: https://flowlakes.com/request-instance (free for 30 days).
2. Get a token: in the instance, open `/admin/mcp-access` and create one.
   Save it as `FLOWLAKES_API_KEY`. A token lasts up to 365 days.
3. Connect to `https://<tenant>.flowlakes.com/mcp` and send the header
   `Authorization: Bearer $FLOWLAKES_API_KEY`.

Your first call: `get_current_user`.

## Good to know

- Check a change with a try tool before you save it.
- Limits: 60 calls a minute per token, 600 per tenant.
- Talk to a person: https://flowlakes.com/request-demo
