489489 | `readOnly` | `boolean` | — | Offer only read tools — the server registers no write tools at all. |
490490 | `transport` | `enum` | — | How the app connects: Streamable HTTP or legacy SSE for remote servers, or a local command over stdio. One of: `http`, `sse`, `stdio`. |
491491 | `url` | `string` | — | HTTPS endpoint of the remote MCP server. |
492 | `oauth` | `object` | — | OAuth settings for a remote server: true to auto-register a client, or an object with a pre-registered client ID, tenant, and scope. |
492 | `oauth` | `object` | — | OAuth for a remote server: true to auto-register a client, a pre-registered client ID with tenant and scope, or mode “hosted” for an Anthropic-signed identity. |
493493 | `oauth.clientId` | `string` | — | OAuth client ID from your IdP app registration. Leave unset to auto-register (dynamic client registration) and only narrow scopes. |
494494 | `oauth.clientSecret` | `string` | — | Only for IdPs whose token endpoint requires a client secret (e.g. Box). Leave blank for PKCE-only public clients. |
495495 | `oauth.clientSecretHelper` | `string` | — | Executable that prints the client secret on stdout. Overrides the inline value. |

743743| <span id="bootstrapenabled" />Use bootstrap config<br />`bootstrapEnabled` | `boolean` | MDM only | `true` | Fetch and apply the URL above at launch. Turn off to keep the URL saved but skip the fetch. Defaults to `true`. |
744744| <span id="bootstrapurl" />Bootstrap config URL<br />`bootstrapUrl` | `string` | MDM only | — | HTTPS endpoint that returns a per-user JSON config overlay. Values from the response override local settings and become read-only. |
745745| <span id="bootstrapoidc" />Bootstrap OIDC parameters<br />`bootstrapOidc` | `object` | MDM only | — | When set, the bootstrap request sends a Bearer token from a browser sign-in (authorization-code-with-PKCE). |
746| <span id="bootstrapheaders" />Bootstrap request headers<br />`bootstrapHeaders` | `object` | MDM only | — | HTTP headers sent on every bootstrap config fetch. Use this instead of embedding user:pass@ in the URL. |
747| <span id="bootstrapheadershelper" />Bootstrap headers helper script<br />`bootstrapHeadersHelper` | `string` | MDM only | — | Absolute path to an executable that prints a JSON object of bootstrap request headers. Merged over the static headers; the helper wins. |
746748| <span id="trustbootstrapdelivery" />Trust bootstrap-delivered settings<br />`trustBootstrapDelivery` | `boolean` | MDM only | `false` | Skip the per-user consent prompt for sign-in targets, inference endpoints, helper scripts, and connectors the bootstrap server delivers. Defaults to `false`. Previously named `trustBootstrapLocalExec`. |

760762 | `scopes` | `string` | — | Space-separated; the token’s audience must match what your bootstrap server validates. |
761763 | `redirectPort` | `integer` | — | Fixed loopback port for the sign-in redirect ([http://127.0.0.1:PORT/callback](http://127.0.0.1:PORT/callback)). Leave unset to use a free port each time. |
762764 | `additionalRedirectReferrerHosts` | `string` | — | Space-separated hostnames also accepted as the referrer of the sign-in callback. Only needed when the IdP completes sign-in from a different host. |

767 <Accordion title="bootstrapHeaders details">
768 Static headers sent on every request to the bootstrap config URL — for a service-account credential (`Authorization: Basic …`, an API key header) or a routing/tenant header. When either this or the headers helper script is set and no separate `bootstrapOidc` provider is configured, the app treats the headers as sufficient auth and does not require a per-user sign-in for the bootstrap fetch. Header values are masked in diagnostics and telemetry. For a rotating token, use the headers helper script instead.
769 </Accordion>

771 <Accordion title="bootstrapHeadersHelper details">
772 Absolute path to an executable that prints a single JSON object of HTTP headers on stdout, e.g. `{"Authorization": "Bearer …"}`. The app runs it (no arguments; output cached for a few minutes) before each bootstrap config fetch and merges the result over **Bootstrap request headers** (the helper wins on conflict). Use this instead of embedding `user:pass@` in the bootstrap URL, or when the bootstrap server needs a rotating token from a secrets manager. When either this or the static headers are set and no separate `bootstrapOidc` provider is configured, the app treats them as sufficient auth and does not require a per-user sign-in for the bootstrap fetch. If a per-user sign-in also runs (`bootstrapOidc` or the server’s own device-code flow), that Bearer token wins on `Authorization`.
