Manus Setup

note

Manus uses bearer token authentication via custom headers rather than browser-based OAuth. You'll need to generate a Leadovaro token before connecting.

Prerequisites​

Manus Account

Access to Manus at manus.im

Leadovaro Account

Create a free account and generate a token at app.leadovaro.com

Setup​

  1. 1
    Generate a Leadovaro Token

    Manus uses bearer token authentication rather than browser-based OAuth, so you'll need to generate a token in Leadovaro first.

    1. Open app.leadovaro.com and sign in
    2. Navigate to Install
    3. Click "Generate a Leadovaro token" and copy it — you'll need this in the next step
  2. 2
    Add a Custom MCP Connector in Manus
    1. In Manus, open Settings → Connectors
    2. Click Add connectors → Custom MCP → Add custom MCP
    3. Select Direct configuration
    4. Enter the following as the server URL: 
      /_sites/app.leadovaro.com/hub/mcp
    5. Click Add custom header and add:
      • Name: Authorization
      • Value: Bearer <YOUR_LEADOVARO_TOKEN>
    warning

    Manus does not have a dedicated bearer token field — all authentication is configured through custom headers. You must manually include the Bearer prefix (with a space) before your token. Entering the token alone will cause 401 errors.

    1. Save the connector. Leadovaro MCP tools are now available in Manus.
  3. 3
    Test Your Connection

    Try these prompts to verify everything is working:

    "What MCP servers are available?"
    "Can you check my recent GitHub issues?"

Troubleshooting​

Why do I keep getting 401 errors?

The most common cause is a missing or malformed Authorization header. Check that:

  • The header name is exactly: Authorization
  • The header value starts with: Bearer (with a space) followed by your token — not the token alone
  • Your Leadovaro token hasn't expired — generate a new one from app.leadovaro.com if needed
Can I use OAuth / browser authentication instead?

Browser-based OAuth is not currently supported in Manus's MCP connector. Token-based authentication via custom headers is the supported method.
