docs(README): add prominent API key CTA bar near top (BUY-31214)#29
Merged
Conversation
npm traffic: @buywhere/mcp-server = 16/day, buywhere-mcp = 12/day = ~400 developers/month touching the README on the install path. The existing 'Get your free API key' link on line 64 was buried after the demo and install snippets; the new for-the-badge CTA + sub-line is the second thing a developer sees after the title blockquote and the first thing they see if they only skim the top 10 lines. CTA path: https://buywhere.ai/api-keys (verified 200, free email signup, no credit card). Tracks BUY-31214 Jun 5-30 API key registration amplification push (280/1000, 14d left, 0 today).

…+ server.json (#31) The 3-second no-signup key path is the real KPI 3 unlock (day-rate jumped 1/day -> 10/day in 90min after the unblock, 2026-06-18). This PR upgrades the existing buywhere.ai/api-keys CTA (from PR #29) to also lead with the new self-service POST /v1/auth/register flow.

Context
KPI 3 (API keys) = 280/1000, 14 days left, 0 today. Board approval 67981867 (OpenTools) is still pending. The top-of-funnel CTA strategy is the highest-leverage move available while waiting on the board — and this README is the most-touched surface by far:
@buywhere/mcp-server= 16 npm downloads/daybuywhere-mcp= 12 npm downloads/dayChange
Added a prominent CTA bar right after the title blockquote, before any badges. New developer sees it within the first 10 lines instead of having to scroll past 60+ lines of demo + install.
