What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js version 14 or later is required. Optionally, Docker can be used for containerized deployment.

Can MCP Connector run on a remote server?

Yes. Run it using `npx` or Docker on a remote server, optionally with a process manager like pm2 for persistence.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `MCP_AUTH_TOKEN` 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.
