MCP Server Registration

Add and configure MCP servers in the ShieldAgent dashboard so the proxy can route tool calls on behalf of your agents.

Add a server

  1. 1.Go to MCP Servers → Add Serverin the dashboard.
  2. 2.Enter the upstream URL (e.g. https://your-mcp-server.example.com).
  3. 3.Give the server a name and optional description.
  4. 4.Choose an authentication mode: None, Static header, or OAuth (managed).
  5. 5.Save. The proxy immediately starts routing matching agent requests through this server.

Authentication modes

None

No credentials forwarded. Use for internal servers that trust the proxy IP.

Static header

A fixed Authorization header (API key or token) stored encrypted in the vault. The proxy injects it on every request.

OAuth (managed)

ShieldAgent handles the OAuth flow. Agents never see the upstream token — the proxy exchanges it transparently.

Test connectivity

After saving, use the "Test connection" button to confirm the proxy can reach the upstream server. A successful ping validates both network reachability and credential correctness.
