# Homelable Backend API Reference Direct REST API access to Pouzor/homelable visualizer backend on port 9445. Bypasses the complex and slow Server-Sent Events (SSE) handshake required on port 8001. ## Authentication The backend API requires an unauthenticated sub-app service key. Read this key dynamically from: `/srv/configs/docker_compose/homelabel/.env` -> `MCP_SERVICE_KEY` Inject it into HTTP request headers: `X-MCP-Service-Key: ` ## Endpoints ### 1.
