# Generic MCP Setup

Use this page for any MCP client that is not listed elsewhere.

Core MCP endpoint:

```text
https://core.gradien.ai/mcp
```

OAuth protected resource metadata:

```text
https://core.gradien.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp
```

## Preferred Setup

1. Add Core as a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server.
2. Use `https://core.gradien.ai/mcp` as the server URL.
3. Let the client discover OAuth from Core protected-resource metadata.
4. Complete browser consent.
5. Verify `initialize` and `tools/list`.

## Fallback

Use a scoped Core connector key only if the client cannot complete OAuth. Connector keys should be personal, scoped, revocable, and stored locally.

Avoid adding long-lived keys to shared project files.
