Resources

The Tesser API is designed for both human developers and AI agents. All endpoints are accessible via standard REST calls and via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI coding assistants to discover and invoke Tesser operations as tools.

Authentication

Both REST and MCP use the same OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow. You need a TESSER_API_KEY and TESSER_API_SECRET (issued as Auth0 client credentials).

Obtain a Token

Code
 
curl --request POST \
  --url https://dev-awqy75wdabpsnsvu.us.auth0.com/oauth/token \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "client_id": "'$TESSER_API_KEY'",
    "client_secret": "'$TESSER_API_SECRET'",
    "audience": "https://sandbox.tesserx.co",
    "grant_type": "client_credentials"
  }'

The response contains an access_token to use as a Bearer token in all subsequent requests.

Environment Setup

Create a .env file in your project root:

Code
 
TESSER_API_KEY=your-api-key
TESSER_API_SECRET=your-api-secret
