Using an API key instead#

For CI or a headless machine, send an API key as a header:

Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http fda-intel https://fdaintel.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FDA_INTEL_API_KEY"

Something not working?

See the FAQ, or email us with the time and the client you used. Never send your API key.
