Overview
When configuring the CircleCI docs MCP server in AI tools like Claude or Cursor, users may encounter repeated Google authentication prompts that make the integration unusable. This happens when the configuration uses the mcp-remote transport instead of a direct URL connection.
Solution
Replace the mcp-remote configuration with a direct URL entry in your MCP settings. This allows you to authenticate once by clicking Connect in the MCP settings panel, rather than being repeatedly prompted.
Remove your existing mcp-remote based CircleCI docs config and replace it with:
"circleci-docs": {
"url": "https://circleci.mcp.kapa.ai"
}After saving the config, open your MCP settings and click Connect for the circleci-docs entry to complete a one-time authentication.
