# Connection settings

> Connection details and model requirements.

## Hosted connections

Sign in with your Sovara account, choose your organization, and authorize projects.
For clients that ask for connection details:

| Setting                     | Value                                  |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Server URL                  | `https://platform.sovara-labs.com/mcp` |
| Transport                   | Streamable HTTP                        |
| Authentication              | OAuth                                  |
| OAuth scope                 | `sovara`                               |
| Client ID and client secret | Leave empty.                           |

If your administrator provides an organization-specific MCP URL, use that address.
Manage access in [Sovara connections](https://platform.sovara-labs.com/connect).

## Local connections

Install Sovara Desktop and the [Sovara CLI](/cli/install), then sign in and select
your local connection. The **Sovara local** plugin launches the connection
automatically. Keep Sovara Desktop open while using it.

Other local MCP clients can be configured with command `sovara` and argument `mcp`.
The client starts the command for you.

## Retrieval models

An administrator configures and verifies models in Sovara's organization settings.
Search, retrieval, analysis, reruns, and generated reviews use these models and
can consume model usage.
