Available in Piebald Basic (Free) In addition to local MCP servers that run on your machine, Piebald also supports remote MCP servers (also known as HTTP MCP servers). To add a new remote MCP server:
  1. Go to Settings → MCP Servers.
  2. Click Add → Add Server.
  3. Enter a name.
  4. For Transport Type, select HTTP.
  5. Enter the MCP server URL (e.g. for Context7, https://mcp.context7.com/mcp).
  6. If the server requires authentication, and you want to authenticate immediately, click Create & Authenticate; otherwise, click Create Server.
  7. If the server requires authentication and you haven’t authenticated, the MCP server will show a yellow “Auth Required” badge. If you want to authenticate the MCP server, click the More button (the three dots) and choose Authenticate.
You can also add an MCP server by pasting conventional mcpServers config JSON.
  1. Go to Settings → MCP Servers.
  2. Click Add → Paste JSON.
  3. Paste your JSON.

Planned fine-grained authentication control

In the future we plan to allow users to manually enter headers and a client ID to be used with MCP requests, for use with apps like Slack, where you generate your own client ID.
