+## Authenticated MCP Servers
+
+Some MCP servers require authentication via HTTP request headers. You can pass request headers through `requestOptions`:
+
+```typescript
+const authenticatedClient = await connectToMCPServer({
+  serverUrl: "https://mcp-server.example.com/mcp",
+  requestOptions: {
+    requestInit: {
+      headers: {
+        Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.MCP_SERVER_API_KEY}`,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
