How do I install the descope stdio mcp server?

What credentials does it need?

It reads `DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID`, `DESCOPE_MANAGEMENT_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
