API Access
orgware lets you reach the Tribal Record from your own tools with a personal API key. It's the same record you see in the library — the API just returns it as data instead of a web page, and always within your ring.
- In the member portal, open API access (waccamaw.org/members/api-access).
- Create a key. It looks like
wcm_live_…. - Copy it immediately — for your security, the full key is shown only once. Store it somewhere safe (a password manager). If you lose it, revoke it and make a new one.
A key carries your ring. A member's key sees cleared member/public records; a leader's key sees the whole corpus. Treat it like a password — anyone with your key can act as you.
Send it as a bearer token:
curl https://members.waccamaw.org/api/query \
-H "Authorization: Bearer wcm_live_your_key_here"The query API returns records from the Tribal Record scoped to your ring. Source
scans are fetched the same way, from the gated /files/… path.
The record is also exposed as a Model Context Protocol server at
mcp.waccamaw.org. Point any MCP-capable assistant at it with your key and it
can search and cite the tribe's records for you — resolutions, the constitution,
the timeline — with the same ring rules and the same source-backed verification.
Lost a key, or don't need one anymore? Revoke it on the API access page. It stops working immediately; the rest of your keys keep working.
