Personal Access Token (PAT) is a Bearer token used for secure API calls. For direct API calls, the PAT is used in the Authorization header as 'Bearer {PAT}'. For MCP usage, configure your PAT in your MCP client settings (e.g., in your IDE's MCP server configuration) - authentication will be handled automatically.
