-First save the remote NocoBase environment and sign in with your own account:
+The supported end-user flow uses a personal NocoBase API Key (Authorize Key), not a username/password or a shared service credential. The installing Agent asks the user to create a revocable Key in NocoBase, then starts this helper in a user-controlled local terminal:
 
 ```bash
-nb env add nb-mcp --api-base-url https://nocobase.example/api --auth-type oauth

 ```
 
-`nb env auth` opens the NocoBase login flow in the user's browser. Do not distribute an API key or copy another user's `nb` configuration directory. The MCP invokes `nb --env nb-mcp`, so NocoBase reapplies the logged-in user's roles, row-level filters, and field permissions to every operation.
+The user pastes the Key only into `nb` CLI's private TTY prompt. The helper never accepts the Key as an argument, environment variable, chat value, file, captured output, or return value. Do not copy another user's Key or `nb` configuration directory. The Key must represent that user's normal business identity/role, so NocoBase can apply the intended roles, row-level filters, and field permissions to every operation.
