PRACTICAL FIELD GUIDE
Streamable HTTP or stdio for MCPBackend?
MCPBackend is a hosted Streamable HTTP MCP service, so the client connects to a URL rather than launching a local server process. The connection configuration must match that transport.

Put it into practice
- Check whether the client's configuration expects a remote URL or a local executable.
- Use the remote HTTP option and the published MCP endpoint.
- Verify initialization and tool discovery after authorization, recording the client version if compatibility fails.
What this looks like
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
A configuration places the remote URL in a command field. The client tries to execute it as a local program rather than open an HTTP connection.
A boundary to keep clear
Do not add an unofficial proxy merely to make an old configuration shape fit. First check the client's supported remote-MCP setup.
MCPBackend context
MCPBackend's remote MCP server manages supported project configuration through your authorized account. Your running app uses the separate data API. A successful connection does not prove every tool call succeeded: inspect tool results, verify the project identity and read the current schema before a change.
Take the next step
Inspect the current project contract, try the change with disposable data, and verify the result through the same credentials your app will use. Record the expected response and one denied-access case before release.
