Method SetBearerToken

Namespace

LMKit.Mcp.Client

Assembly

LM-Kit.NET.dll

SetBearerToken(string)

Sets or clears the Bearer token used for authentication with the MCP server.

public void SetBearerToken(string bearerToken)

Parameters

bearerToken string

The Bearer token string to use for authentication, or null/empty to clear authentication. This token is included in the Authorization header as "Bearer {token}" on all requests.

Examples

// Set initial token
client.SetBearerToken("eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...");

// Clear authentication
client.SetBearerToken(null);

// Token refresh scenario
client.OnAuthFailed = statusCode =>
{
    var newToken = RefreshAuthToken();
    client.SetBearerToken(newToken);
};

Remarks

Changing the bearer token invalidates the current session, causing the client to automatically re-initialize on the next operation. This ensures that the new authentication credentials are properly negotiated with the server.

If you're implementing token refresh logic, call this method with the new token when the old one expires. The client handles the re-initialization transparently.
