# Setup

> Configure the API key and base endpoint needed to call the Bridger Gateway.

Bridger works as a hosted Gateway with no package installation required.
On the client side, you only need to configure an API key and the Gateway URL.

## API key

Create an account at [admin.datari.kr](https://admin.datari.kr) and issue a key under **Settings → API Keys**.

```bash theme={null}
export DATA_BRIDGE_API_KEY="dk_live_..."
```

## Gateway URL

```bash theme={null}
export DATA_BRIDGE_GATEWAY_URL="https://mcp.datari.kr/mcp"
```

## Verify the connection

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "$DATA_BRIDGE_GATEWAY_URL" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DATA_BRIDGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
```
