In the context of API operations, the "something that you have", criteria of MFA would be how users are requested to possess a valid API key or token asides from their username and passcode.

Some cloud services providers like Amazon Web Services(AWS) offer MFA options that are integrated with their API services.

I hope this helps?

Thanks for the reply! I meant using devices like hardware tokens or phones for MFA, in the context of performing API operations from scripts.
