FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Northflank
Can Claude manage Northflank projects and secrets?
Yes. With a Northflank connection shared to a type.com Space, Claude can create or update projects, store secrets, and look up DNS IDs, all from a thread your platform team shares.
How do I authenticate Northflank in type.com?
Northflank uses an API key, added once by an admin when the connection is created. Spaces managing deployments can use it without seeing the key.
