Custom connector: no way to send a static Bearer token (Authorization header) — only OAuth fields shown

### Problem Statement

I'm trying to add a custom connector (remote MCP server) on Claude.ai (Max plan). The MCP server authenticates with a static Bearer token via the Authorization header — it does not use OAuth.

However, the "Add custom connector" dialog only exposes a URL field plus OAuth Client ID / Client Secret under Advanced settings. There's no field to add a custom request header (e.g. Authorization: Bearer ).

The docs mention that request-header authentication for custom connectors is in beta / rolling out gradually. My request: could this option be enabled, or is there a supported way to connect an MCP server that uses Bearer-token auth instead of OAuth?

Server transport: HTTP Streamable
Auth method required by the server: Authorization: Bearer

Thanks!

### Proposed Solution

It would be great if Claude.ai could... let me add a custom request header (for example Authorization: Bearer ) when adding a custom connector, so I can connect MCP servers that authenticate with a static token instead of OAuth.
