There was a problem hiding this comment.
Risk MEDIUM: Documents service token authentication for the remote MCP server across three existing MDX pages.
Reasons
- Changes span two documentation sections (
content/ai/andcontent/developer-tools/). - Adds a substantial new section on the MCP server page (~35 lines of new content).
- Updates cross-links and FAQs on related pages for consistency.
- No code, layout, sidebar, or build configuration changes.
- Author
cjbellis a known team member.
Notes
- Verify the service token auth flow and
mcp.jsonexample match the implementation in knocklabs/knock-mcp#14. - Confirm cross-links resolve correctly (
/ai/mcp-server#authenticate-with-a-service-token,/developer-tools/service-tokens). - Review security guidance (treat token as secret, OAuth vs service token tradeoffs) for accuracy.
- Check that updated FAQ answers no longer contradict the new service token support.
Automated risk classification — approval withheld (MEDIUM risk; approval requires LOW).

Description
Documents service token authentication for the remote MCP server, matching the support added in knocklabs/knock-mcp#14.
Interactive clients still use OAuth. CI and other headless clients can pass a Management API service token (
knock_st_…) as a bearer credential. The docs cover:Tasks
