"args": [
"mcp-remote",
"http://127.0.0.1:5000/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}",
"--header",
"X-LLM-Conversation-Source:${CONVERSATION_SOURCE}"
],
"env": {
"AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <from commercial web dev>",
"CONVERSATION_SOURCE": "MCP_CLIENT"
}
}
}
}
Getting the Auth Token
The AUTH_HEADER should contain a Bearer token obtained from the commercial web application in the development environment.
After Configuration
Once configured, MCP tools will appear in Claude Desktop's interface and can be called directly.
