      (`/v2/teamspaces/*`) accepts a Context7 API key created with management
      access (other keys get 403 `management_access_required`), which reaches
      only its own teamspace, or an OAuth token issued for the Context7 Admin
      MCP server (`https://admin.mcp.context7.com/mcp`), which reaches every
      teamspace of the user. A browser session is not accepted.
