How do I install the mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

The recorded environment keys are `VT_INSTANCE_ENTRYPOINT`, `VT_INSTANCE_BEARER_TOKEN`, `VT_INSTANCE_HEADERS`, `MCP_SERVER_MODE`, `MCP_SSE_ADDR`, `VT_DEFAULT_TENANT_ID`. Keep credentials outside committed files and confirm the configuration required by your installed version.
