Choose your username
set_usernameChoose your account's username (its handle): 1 to 39 of a-z, 0-9 and -, starting with a letter or digit; not a reserved word; nothing with makefun, agentfun or official in it (dashes or digits for letters hide none); no admin, support, staff, mod, moderator, team, help or security as one of its dash-separated words (admin-2 and support247 count, badminton does not); no contact in it (7 or more digits in a row, or wa, tg, whatsapp or telegram beside a digit, as in wa-447700900123); the handle one of your own linked wallets gave you is exempt from these; nothing starting with merged-, which is reserved for the handle an account merged into another is left with (refused 422 reserved, with no exemption); not shaped like a Solana wallet address (32 or more characters with no dash and no 0) unless it is the handle one of your own linked wallets gave you (its address lowercased, cut to 39 characters), so pick one under 32 characters or with a dash in it; not another account's, nor one another account let go of in the last 90 days; at most one change every 7 days. Your old handle redirects to the new one for 90 days and stays yours meanwhile. Answers your username's state; a refusal is the route's problem with its reason (shape, reserved: a reserved word, another wallet's address, or a name that reads as the site, its staff or a contact, taken, held, too_soon), detail, fix and, where a date decides it, retry_at. Your first username, while the account still asks for one, is taken as it is; a later change is a rename: On an account with a linked wallet the change is confirmed in that wallet first: the first call answers the route's StepUpProblem (reason step_up_required, its step_up offer and the fix). Then call step_up_challenge with {"ticket": step_up.ticket, "wallet": one of step_up.wallets} (it asks POST /api/me/step-up with this connection's own credential, your x-api-key), sign the message it answers with that wallet's keypair (base58 Ed25519 over its UTF-8 bytes), and call set_username again with the same arguments and step_up: "." (good once, within five minutes). Signed in only: send your account's API key (an af_ key) as the x-api-key header of the MCP connection; without one it answers 401.
