No token is needed from the user at all — but every MCP call runs as that one account, which collapses per-user permissions and audit trails [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/40225). **On the `master` branch (upcoming):** JWT Bearer token authentication has been added and substantially reworked [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/39106) [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/42935). Whether users manually provide a token depends on how you connect: - **AI desktop clients** (Claude Desktop, Claude Code): The user configures their Bearer token once in a config file (e.g., `claude_desktop_config.json`). It's a one-time setup, not per-request [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/38415). - **Programmatic/automated clients**: Your backend can acquire the JWT automatically (e.g., via an OAuth token endpoint) and pass it in the `Authorization: Bearer` header — no manual user interaction needed. - **Web-based AI clients** (Claude Web, ChatGPT): These use an OAuth browser flow so the user authorizes through their browser rather than manually pasting a token [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/38415). So in short: for automated or service integrations you can design it so users never touch a token. Manual token entry is only typical for local developer setups with AI desktop tools, and even then it's a one-time configuration. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Docs are dead.
