For Docker Installation:

{ "mcpServers": { "freeagent": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_ID", "-e", "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_SECRET", "-e", "FREEAGENT_ACCESS_TOKEN", "-e", "FREEAGENT_REFRESH_TOKEN", "freeagent-mcp" ], "env": { "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id", "FREEAGENT_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret", "FREEAGENT_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token", "FREEAGENT_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }
