MCP Client

If your chosen MCP client supports remote OAuth2 MCP server, you can directly connect. Otherwise, you can use mcp-remote to do it All the most popular MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Github Copilot) use the following config format:

{
    "servers": {
        "my-mcp-server": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "http://localhost:3001/mcp"]
        }
    }
}

Troubleshooting

Clear your ~/.mcp-auth directory

If you encounter an invalid client error when connecting to the MCP server, it may be due to that mcp-remote only register oauth client for the first time.you can fix it by removing the cached client state:

rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth
