Summary

  • Updates the Custom Integration section of the Lightdash MCP reference to note that Personal Access Tokens (and service account tokens, where available) are supported alongside OAuth 2.0.
  • Documents the optional X-Lightdash-Project and X-Lightdash-User-Attributes headers for scoping a session to a project or overriding user attributes per request.

Test plan

  • Verify the rendered page reads cleanly under Custom Integration (For Developers).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Clarifies that the MCP endpoint also accepts Personal Access Token and
service account auth alongside OAuth, and documents the X-Lightdash-Project
and X-Lightdash-User-Attributes headers used by headless agents.
