## Generic MCP Client

**Add the GeoPard MCP server** using the endpoint: [**https://mcp.geopard.tech/mcp**](https://mcp.geopard.tech/mcp) \
or by adding the GeoPard MCP server to the **MCP configuration file** for your client in the section. \
The result configuration file should look similar to the following JSON.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "GeoPard PROD": {
      "url": "https://mcp.geopard.tech/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**Authenticate** using your GeoPard account credentials.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If authentication fails and the client cannot establish a connection,  please **submit a request via “Report Issue” in the GeoPard web app.**&#x20;

Some MCP clients may require a slight additional configuration adjustment in the authentication flow in GeoPard to establish a connection.
