There's not a whole lot to work with here, but generally speaking, Web API diverges from MVC mostly in that it's fully REST-compliant, whereas MVC is not. REST-compliant applications are stateless (in other words: no session, no cookies, etc.). Everything the API endpoint needs must be sent along with the request either in the URL, the request headers or the request body. That means you could send the value of the cookie (not the cookie, itself) in the query string of a GET request or the body of a POST, or as is typical with REST API auth, as an Authorization HTTP header.
