Other MCP clients
If your MCP client only speaks stdio (Continue, the OpenAI Codex CLI,
older Cline builds, custom OpenAI Agents SDK runners), bridge to
PerSQL through the mcp-remote proxy. Recent mcp-remote builds
handle the OAuth handshake automatically when no header is provided;
older builds need a static bearer token.
OAuth — current mcp-remote:
{ "mcpServers": { "persql": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.persql.com"] } }}Bearer fallback — older mcp-remote or runtimes without OAuth
delegation:
{ "mcpServers": { "persql": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.persql.com", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer psql_live_…" ] } }}The exact path to drop this in depends on the client:
- Continue.dev —
~/.continue/config.jsonundermcpServers. - OpenAI Codex CLI —
~/.codex/config.toml, the equivalent[mcp_servers.persql]block withcommandandargskeys. - Custom runners — wherever the client reads MCP server config.
mcp-remote is maintained by the MCP community; install on demand via
npx, no global install needed.
