Connecting with a Manual Token (Genspark and others)

Some tools connect with a permanent token instead of OAuth. For this, there is a personal token.

Creating a Token

  1. 1Open "Connect AI" in the menu
  2. 2Scroll to the "Other Connectors (Genspark and more)" section
  3. 3Create a personal token and copy it (save it — it's displayed once)

Configuration in Genspark (and similar tools)

  1. 1Add a new MCP server with the build it up MCP address
  2. 2Select StreamableHttp server type (not SSE)
  3. 3In the Request headers, paste the token in the format:

Authorization: Bearer [Your Token]

Important to Know

  • The token grants access to your account — do not share it
  • You can revoke a token at any time from the same page
💡 Tip: If your tool supports OAuth — OAuth is preferred. Manual token is the solution for tools that don't.
