Request for Explanation: Why Are Flags Restricted to Local Server?

mcp-server-browserbase/README.md

Line 157 in 02a4caf

Currently, these flags can only be used with the local server (npx @browserbasehq/mcp).

Please provide the real technical or organizational reason for this limitation. Understanding the rationale will help users plan their deployments more effectively.

Hey @SmartManoj, you're able to set configurations with the remote hosted url, it's just a little bit different. We currently use smithery for hosting, and when you generate your server url, you're able to set all the configurations that you want.

Here's the link for ref: https://smithery.ai/server/@browserbasehq/mcp-browserbase

It's not working in smithery if configurations are set. https://discord.com/channels/1319565605820563506/1347765243501088789/1399673553175052290
