set_basic_auth

MCP tool from Sidebutton by sidebutton

Set HTTP Basic Auth credentials for the connected tab

How to use it

Project documentation lists set_basic_auth for the Sidebutton MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
