Modern AI tools and automation platforms all handle MCP connections differently. Some need a local stdio bridge like mcp-remote, while others connect directly to the 101domain MCP Server over HTTPS with a Bearer token.
Use the table below to see, at a glance, how common MCP‑compatible clients (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, n8n, and others) should be configured to work with the 101domain MCP Server—including connection method, recommended auth option, and where to store your API key.
Auth options key: ✅ Recommended | ⚠️ Works but avoid for production
