+### Connecting to a Remote MCP Server
 
-### Claude Desktop
+If the ReportPortal MCP Server is already **deployed** and accessible via HTTP, you can connect to it remotely without running it locally. This is useful when the server is hosted centrally or in a shared environment.
 
-1. Open Claude Desktop, go to **Settings → Developer → Edit Config**.
-2. Add a new MCP server entry that runs the ReportPortal MCP Server.
+**Remote Server Configuration:**
 ```json
 {
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "reportportal": {
-      // choose the Docker or binary configuration from the section above
+  "reportportal": {
+    "url": "http://your-mcp-server-host:port/mcp/",
+    "headers": {
+      "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-token",
+      "X-Project": "YourProjectInReportPortal"
     }
   }
 }
 ```
-3. Save and restart Claude Desktop.
 
-### Claude Code CLI
-
-1. Open your terminal.
-2. Run the following comman.
-```bash
-claude mcp add-json reportportal '{"command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "RP_API_TOKEN", "-e", "RP_HOST", "-e", "RP_PROJECT", "reportportal/mcp-server"], "env": {"RP_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token", "RP_HOST": "https://your-reportportal-instance.com", "RP_PROJECT": "YourProjectInReportPortal"}}'
-```
+**Configuration Parameters:**
+- `url`: The HTTP endpoint URL of the remote MCP server (must end with `/mcp/`)
+- `headers.Authorization`: Bearer token for authentication (required)
+- `headers.X-Project`: The ReportPortal project name (optional)
 
-**Configuration Options:**
-- Use `-s user` to add the server to your user configuration (available across all projects).
-- Use `-s project` to add the server to project-specific configuration (shared via `.mcp.json`).
-- Default scope is `local` (available only to you in the current project).

+
+**Local installation (stdio mode):**
+```json

+  "reportportal": {
+    "command": "docker",
+    "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "RP_API_TOKEN", "-e", "RP_HOST", "-e", "RP_PROJECT", "reportportal/mcp-server"],
+    "env": {
+      "RP_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
+      "RP_HOST": "https://your-reportportal-instance.com",
+      "RP_PROJECT": "YourProjectInReportPortal"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Remote server (HTTP mode):**
+```json
+{
+  "reportportal": {
+    "url": "http://your-mcp-server-host:port/mcp/",
+    "headers": {
+      "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-token",
+      "X-Project": "YourProjectInReportPortal"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Please refer to your coding agent's documentation for the exact configuration format and where to place the configuration file.
