A signed-in user creates a Client ID and Client Secret on the console's Credentials page, and the secret is shown once. `POST /v1/oauth2/token` with the client credentials grant returns an access token valid for 3,600 seconds and a refresh token, both with the scope `cloud-api-v1`. Credentials belong to the member who created them and are deleted when that member leaves the project. The CLI and its MCP server read the same pair from `~/.verda/credentials` after `verda auth login`. A few catalogue endpoints such as `GET /v1/instance-types` need no token.",

Sign every request. Build the payload from path, sorted query string, verb and `X-Crusoe-Timestamp`, HMAC-SHA256 it with the base64url-decoded secret, and send `Authorization: Bearer 1.0:\u003caccess_key_id\u003e:\u003csignature\u003e`.\n2. Use `https://api.cloud.crusoe.ai/v1`. Some docs pages and the MCP server still name `api.crusoecloud.com` and `/v1alpha5`.\n3. Creates, updates and deletes return an operation. Poll the matching operations endpoint for `state`, and list existing resources by name before retrying a create, because no idempotency key was found.\n4. Managed AI uses separate Intelligence API keys and hosts, `api.inference.crusoecloud.com` for OpenAI-compatible calls and `api.intelligence.crusoecloud.com` for files and fine-tuning jobs.\n5. Delete a VM and its disks to stop charges. A stopped on-demand VM is not billed for compute, but its 128 GB OS disk still bills at $0.08 a GiB-month.\n\n### Verda\n\n1. Exchange the client ID and secret at `POST /v1/oauth2/token`, then send the access token as a Bearer header. It expires after 3,600 seconds, so refresh it.\n2. Send `location_code` on every create call. Requests without it have returned 400 since March 2026.\n3. Call `GET /v1/instance-availability` before launching. `POST /v1/instances` returns 503 `service_unavailable` when the location has no capacity.\n4. List instances before retrying a failed launch, because create has no idempotency key.\n5. Use the `delete` action to stop charges. `shutdown` keeps billing, and deleted volumes stay recoverable for 96 hours unless `delete_permanently` is set.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Crusoe Cloud or Verda?\n\nCrusoe Cloud scores 63.4 (B) on agent readiness against Verda's 62.3 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Verda leads on agent ergonomics and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Crusoe Cloud and Verda need an API key?\n\nCrusoe Cloud needs an API key.
