Modelslab Account Management

ModelsLab Account Management

Manage the full ModelsLab account lifecycle via the Agent Control Plane API — authentication, tokens, profile, API keys, and teams.

When to Use This Skill

• Sign up or log in to ModelsLab programmatically
• Create and manage API keys for generation endpoints
• Update user profile, password, or social links
• Manage access tokens (list, revoke, switch team accounts)
• Invite, update, or remove team members
• Build agent workflows that need account bootstrapping

Authentication

The Agent Control Plane uses bearer tokens (not API keys). Some endpoints (signup, login, forgot-password) work without a token.

Base URL: https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1
Authorization: Bearer <agent_access_token>

Auth: Signup & Login

Sign Up

import requests

def signup(email, password, name=None):
    """Create a new ModelsLab account."""
    response = requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1/auth/signup",
        json={
            "email": email,
            "password": password,
            "name": name or ""
        }
    )
    data = response.json()
    if "error" in data:
        raise Exception(data["error"])
    return data["data"]  # Contains access_token

# Usage
result = signup("agent@example.com", "securepass123", "My Agent")
token = result["access_token"]
print(f"Signed up! Token: {token}")

Log In

def login(email, password, token_expiry="1_month"):
    """Log in and get a bearer token.

    Args:
        token_expiry: "1_week", "1_month" (default), "3_months", "never"
    """
    response = requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1/auth/login",
        json={
            "email": email,
            "password": password,
            "device_name": "my-agent",
            "token_expiry": token_expiry
        }
    )
    data = response.json()
    if "error" in data:
        raise Exception(data["error"])
    return data["data"]["access_token"]

# Usage
token = login("agent@example.com", "securepass123")

Logout

def logout(token):
    """Revoke current token."""
    requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1/auth/logout",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}
    )

def logout_all(token):
    """Revoke all tokens for this account."""
    requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1/auth/logout-all",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}
    )

Verify Email (Headless)

After signup, the user receives a verification_code via email. Verify without a browser:

def verify_email(verification_code):
    """Verify email with the code from the verification email.

    Returns an access_token and api_key — no browser required.
    """
    response = requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1/auth/verify-email",
        json={"verification_code": verification_code}
    )
    data = response.json()
    if "error" in data:
        raise Exception(data["error"])
    return data["data"]

# Usage — complete headless signup flow
result = verify_email("the_code_from_email")
token = result["access_token"]
api_key = result["api_key"]
print(f"Verified! Token: {token}, API Key: {api_key}")

Refresh Token

Rotate the current bearer token without re-authenticating:

def refresh_token(token, token_expiry="1_month"):
    """Refresh/rotate the current access token.

    The old token is revoked and a new one is issued.

    Args:
        token_expiry: "1_week", "1_month" (default), "3_months", "never"
    """
    response = requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1/auth/refresh",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
        json={"token_expiry": token_expiry}
    )
    data = response.json()
    if "error" in data:
        raise Exception(data["error"])
    return data["data"]["access_token"]

# Usage — rotate token before it expires
new_token = refresh_token(old_token, token_expiry="1_month")

Password Reset

def forgot_password(email):
    """Request a password reset email."""
    requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1/auth/forgot-password",
        json={"email": email}
    )

def reset_password(email, token, new_password):
    """Reset password using the reset token from email."""
    requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1/auth/reset-password",
        json={
            "email": email,
            "token": token,

Headless Agent Flow (No Browser Required)

The complete flow for agents that need to sign up, verify, add payment, subscribe, and generate content without any browser interaction. See modelslab-billing-subscriptions for all three payment paths (headless, setup intent, human-assisted).

import requests

BASE = "https://modelslab.com/api/agents/v1"

# Fetch Stripe publishable key dynamically
config_resp = requests.get(f"{BASE}/billing/stripe-config",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"})
STRIPE_PK = config_resp.json()["publishable_key"]

# 1. Sign up
signup_resp = requests.post(f"{BASE}/auth/signup", json={
    "email": "agent@example.com",
    "password": "securepass123",
    "name": "My Agent"

# 2. Verify email with code from email (no browser needed)

        "card[exp_year]": 2027,
        "card[cvc]": "123",
    }
)
pm_id = pm_resp.json()["id"]

# 3b. Option B: Setup Intent flow (save card for future use)
# setup_resp = requests.post(f"{BASE}/billing/setup-intent", headers=hdrs)
# -> Confirm with Stripe API, then use the resulting pm_id

# 3c. Option C: Human-assisted payment link
# link = requests.post(f"{BASE}/billing/payment-link", headers=hdrs, json={
#     "purpose": "subscribe", "plan_id": 123
# }).json()["data"]
# -> Forward link["payment_url"] to human, then confirm-checkout

# 4. Attach the payment method
requests.post(f"{BASE}/billing/payment-methods", headers=hdrs, json={

    "make_default": True

# 5. Subscribe headlessly with payment_method_id (no Checkout redirect)
sub_resp = requests.post(f"{BASE}/subscriptions", headers=hdrs, json={
    "plan_id": 123,

# 6. Generate content using existing APIs with the api_key from step 2

MCP Server Access

These same capabilities are available via the Agent Control Plane MCP server:

• URL: https://modelslab.com/mcp/agents
• Auth: Authorization: Bearer <token>
• Tools: agent-auth, agent-tokens, agent-profile, agent-api-keys, agent-teams

See: https://docs.modelslab.com/mcp-web-api/agent-control-plane

API Endpoints Reference

Best Practices

1. Store Tokens Securely

import os
# Use environment variables, not hardcoded values
token = os.getenv("MODELSLAB_AGENT_TOKEN")

2. Use Token Expiry Wisely

# Short-lived for CI/CD
login(email, password, token_expiry="1_week")

# Long-lived for persistent agents
login(email, password, token_expiry="never")

3. Create Descriptive API Keys

create_api_key(token, "staging-backend", notes="Used by staging environment")
create_api_key(token, "ci-tests", notes="Used by GitHub Actions")

4. Clean Up Old Tokens

# Revoke all other tokens when rotating
revoke_other_tokens(token)
