How do I install the watsonx 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?

It reads `WATSONX_API_KEY`, `WATSONX_URL`, `WATSONX_SPACE_ID`, `WATSONX_PROJECT_ID` 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.
