Set the `MCP_TOKEN` environment variable with this token, and configure your MCP client to use it in the [Authorization header](#configuring-mcp-clients)

#### Experimental: Dynamic Client Registration
|
||||
|
||||
> [!CAUTION]
|
||||
> This is highly experimental, proceed with caution.
|
||||
|
||||
You can configure the `auth-backend` and install the `auth` frontend plugin in order to enable [Dynamic Client Registration](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/authorization#dynamic-client-registration) with MCP Clients.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that there is no token required in your MCP settings, and a token will be given to a client that requests a token on your behalf. When adding the MCP server to an MCP client like Cursor or Claude, a popup that requires your approval will be opened in your Backstage instance, which is powered by the `auth` plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to add the `@backstage/plugin-auth` package to your `app` `package.json`, and enable the following config in `app-config.yaml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
auth:
|
||||
experimentalDynamicClientRegistration:
|
||||
# enable the feature
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
|
||||
# this is optional and will default to *, but you can limit the callback URLs which are valid for added security
|
||||
allowedRedirectUriPatterns:
|
||||
- cursor://*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The `@backstage/plugin-auth` package is currently only available in the new frontend system.

||||

||||
## Configuring MCP Clients
|
||||
|
||||
The MCP server supports both Server-Sent Events (SSE) and Streamable HTTP protocols.
