JSON configuration file setup

Many AI apps store MCP servers in a JSON file. chamelAIn uses a URL-only block for OAuth (no `Authorization` header).

OAuth configuration shape

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chamelain": {
      "url": "https://your-mcp-host.example.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Some apps use a different top-level key or file location — follow your app's connect guide for the exact path.

Steps (typical)

1. Open your app's MCP settings or configuration file.
2. Add or merge the `chamelain` server entry with only the `url` field.
3. Save and restart the app.
4. Sign in via browser OAuth on first connect.

Fallback access key

If OAuth is unavailable, add headers with your access key (create one from the dashboard connect modal or Settings → Security):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chamelain": {
      "url": "https://your-mcp-host.example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "[credential pre-included — use Download or Copy]"
      }
    }
  }
}

Do not mix OAuth URL-only config with a PAT `headers` block — pick one mode.
