OTHER MCP CLIENTS

Any client that supports HTTP-transport MCP servers with custom headers can connect. Typical JSON configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "downtester": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://dd-dp.downtester.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer dtk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

The MCP server ships with the same release as the public API. If key creation still shows the provisioning notice on your account, the endpoint unlocks at the same moment.
