I used the following images and followed this documentation to successfully connect the mcp server to the cursor client.

Could we add a small section to this step (verify the authentication token).
Set this token as the bearer token in your MCP client could we also specify "ensure the authorization header in the configuration specifies Bearer before the token. E.g. Bearer <mcp-token>"`
(or something to that effect)

| If your MCP client connects to the server but cannot find deployed tools, an authentication or configuration issue is likely. | ||

Could we add an additional verification step here?
Something like: Verify app config changes:
"Verify that there are no duplicate backend entries in the app config and that indentation is accurate. The changes to configure the static token and mcp plugin sources should go under an existing backend field, if present. If there's confusion, consult the sample app config provided in proc-configuring-model-context-protocol_{context}"]"
