How to connect mcp-remote to a custom MCP server with mcp-auth

[HaithamOumerzoug]

Hi everyone 👋

I’ve been experimenting with a custom MCP server built using the MCP TypeScript SDK, and I’ve integrated the mcp-auth package to handle authentication and authorization.

Now, I’d like to connect to this server using mcp-remote — for example at:

• http://localhost:3000/mcp
• or http://localhost:3000/see

My goal is to make this server accessible to MCP-compatible clients such as Claude, Cursor, or OpenWebUI, so they can interact with my server through the MCP protocol.

My main question:
👉 How can we use mcpo or mcp-remote to connect to an authenticated MCP server (built with the TypeScript SDK and mcp-auth)?

• Do I need a specific connector configuration (e.g., mcpo <url> --token)?
• How does authentication flow between mcp-auth and the client work in this setup?
• Are there any examples or reference implementations?

Any guidance or working examples would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance 🙏
