For transport mode 'http':

[!NOTE] Some MCP-Clients do not yet natively support OAuth Flows.
If this affects you, the 'mcp-remote' package might be a solution.

For transport mode 'http' with the 'mcp-remote' package.

{
  "mcpServers": {
	"REI3-Tickets-MCP-Server" : {
		"command": "npx",
		"args": [
          "mcp-remote",
          "https://127.0.0.1:54321/mcp/"
        ]
