Technically it needs that. Claude code adds it automatically apparently.

Hmmm ... none of their examples include Bearer and this wasn't even meant to be Claude-specific.

Their tools add it automatically but it still works with it included and I'm worried about other clients doing it wrong. I confirmed that with Anthropic yesterday.

In the Claude docs, I don't see a way to prompt or otherwise read the PAT dynamically (e.g. from an environment variable). As far as I can tell, it has to be pasted into the JSON as plain text.
