🟢 Agents: programmatic api

Programmatic — an agent can provision a key end-to-end, no human.

Atlas Admin API (digest-auth key pairs, org/project scoped) provisions clusters, users and indexes for CI/CD, Terraform and agents. Caveat: the FIRST API key must be created by a human in the Atlas UI to bootstrap. Official MongoDB MCP server.
