You can’t be seriously proposing HTTP auth (you probably mean basic auth??) as a solution!? Just hand your raw credentials to the LLM, what could go wrong?

Letting the harness inject the credentials implies not exposing them to the LLM.
Besides, the current state of MCP authentication almost always involves just hard coding secrets in .claude/settings.json so it's not like that's doing a great job keeping the creds away from the LLM anyway. All I'm saying is that MCP auth offers no advantage.
