Your tokens are never written to browser storage or application logs.

Secure connection

Connect the two ends.

Model Relay is a local credential broker. Tokens exist only in server memory, are scoped to this browser session, and expire automatically.

    Nothing persistedNo database, localStorage, telemetry, or token logs.
  • 02
    Source isolationYour HF token is stripped before CDN redirects.
  • 03
    Bounded lifetimeIdle session keys expire; a running job clears its credential copy when it finishes.
Credential session

Authorize migration

Use a Runpod API key and, only when needed, a read-scoped Hugging Face token.

Credentials are sent only to their respective official APIs from this relay process.
