Summary

Adds an Authenticated sites section to the MCP server page documenting how to pass a FERN_TOKEN header for sites with authentication enabled.

Covers two token acquisition paths in tabs:

  • API key (JWT / OAuth): exchange a Fern API key via /api/fern-docs/get-jwt
  • Password protection: exchange the site password via /api/fern-docs/auth/password

Includes a Claude Code example for registering the server with the header, plus a note on token expiry.
