1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

In a local area network environment, we have embedded the Agent into the system page. The Agent has the capability to call the MCP API. At present, we need to set permissions for different users' access to the API interface, and thus we need to obtain a token. However, we currently have not found a way to dynamically pass in the token. So, is it possible to add a "dify" to receive path parameters, or adopt any other method to achieve the same effect?

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (May 23, 2025):

Based on the information available, Dify currently manages API tokens using a combination of the TokenManager and ApiToken classes, which handle token generation, storage, and validation. Token validation for API access is typically performed by checking the Authorization header for a Bearer token in incoming requests, as seen in the validate_and_get_api_token function. This means that the standard and supported way to transmit tokens dynamically is via the HTTP Authorization header, not as a path parameter or query parameter [source].

For embedded scenarios (such as with the chatbot), the token is expected to be provided in the configuration before the script is loaded, and it is then included in the requests made by the embedded component [source].

There is no evidence in the codebase or documentation that Dify currently supports passing tokens as path parameters, nor are there existing issues or discussions about enabling this feature. The recommended and secure approach is to use the Authorization header for dynamic token transmission.

If your use case requires passing tokens in a different way (such as via path parameters), this would require custom changes to the API endpoints to accept and validate tokens from the path, which is not currently supported out of the box.

Summary of current options:

  • Pass the token dynamically in the Authorization: Bearer <token> header for API requests.
  • For embedded widgets, ensure the token is set in the configuration before loading the script.

If you need a different mechanism (such as path parameters), it would require a feature request or custom modification to the Dify codebase. There are currently no built-in alternatives or workarounds documented for this scenario.
