Integrating into the MCP Client

Method 1: Recommended – use the header.

Suitable for MCP clients that support custom headers.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thordata": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8800/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_USER_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Method 2: Use a path token when headers are not supported.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thordata": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8800/YOUR_USER_TOKEN/mcp"
    }
  }
}
