Hi @kbaig8125

I would recommend that you do the following:
1. Install the MCP inspector from the following location: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector. Before you do so, make sure Node.js is also installed.

2. Configure the PAT token in your workspace and select the Genie space you would like to use.

3. Set the values in the MCP inspector as shown below

Make sure it is a StreamableHttp connection and the Bearer token only has the PAT token.

Check the image attached.
