Add an MCP Server by selecting a Connection and Credential Alias record.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_mcp_client.admin

## About this task

For using the Authentication methods not supported in MCP Server, you can use the Connection and Credential Alias method to create the Alias manually and then update it in the MCP Server. For using OAuth based authentication
method, first create the OAuth entity profile and then create the Connection and Credential Alias. For other authentication methods like API Key, Basic Auth, AWS Credentials, SSH Credentials, and so on, create the connection
and credential Alias directly.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI Agent StudioSettings.
2. Navigate to Manage MCP Servers and select New.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.

   | Name | Name for your MCP Server. |
