    description: >-
      The remote MCP server also accepts a valid API key as a bearer token
      (unauthenticated calls return "You must authenticate with a valid API key
      to proceed"). Bearer credentials are sent in the Authorization header.

  Derived by search of Instrumentl's OAuth discovery documents (no OpenAPI is
  published). Access to the MCP server is gated by OAuth 2.0 authorization-code
  + PKCE with dynamic client registration and refresh tokens, or a bearer API
  key. Security contact: security@instrumentl.com.
