MCP server tools now in ChatGPT -- developer mode

Coding with ChatGPT

This is super exciting! :tada:

From what I can tell, ChatGPT in developer mode only supports MCP servers that use OAuth or no authentication.

But what if the MCP server I want to connect to only supports a bearer token? How should I configure that in ChatGPT?

Here’s the setup I have:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "observe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://132284333042.observe-eng.com/v1/ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer 132284333042 f86wKuxTvEOSZ4X1I1-redacted"
      }
    }
  }
}
