# Guide: Project Management

> Organize, configure, and monitor your integrations.

In Karada, a **Project** serves as the fundamental container for all your deployed services, Auto-MCP integrations, and resource limits.

Every Project belongs to a **Workspace** (Team), ensuring that billing, access control, and usage remain centrally managed.

## Creating Projects

When you create a new project, you can choose from two primary paths:

### 1. Provider Projects (e.g., Auto-MCP)

When you build an integration through Karada's specialized providers like Auto-MCP, Karada fully manages the underlying source code and deployment lifecycle for you. You only need to provide the configuration (e.g., an OpenAPI specification URL), and Karada handles the rest automatically.

### 2. Git Integrations (Coming Soon)

For bespoke applications, you can connect your Karada workspace to a source control repository. Karada will automatically set up continuous delivery pipelines to build and deploy your application every time you push to the primary branch.

## The Project Dashboard

The Project Dashboard is your command center. From here, you observe all critical metrics and configurations at a glance.

### Usage Tracking

If your project utilizes AI agents or processes automated requests, the **Usage** tab provides real-time insights into your consumption. Karada tracks:

* Total API Requests
* Bandwidth Data Transfer
* Error Rates and Latency

Usage metrics help you monitor the health of your deployments and ensure you stay within your billing tier.

### Managing Settings

The **Settings** tab allows you to customize the behavior of your project:

* **General**: Change the project name, description, and primary domain.
* **Environment Variables**: Securely store and inject secrets (like `OPENAI_API_KEY`) into your deployments at runtime. Karada encrypts these values at rest.
* **Danger Zone**: Transfer project ownership to another team or permanently delete the project. Deleting a project stops all active deployments immediately.
