Plaid only issues these via the client_credentials grant, which McpMux cannot run automatically, so paste a token you mint yourself. Mint one by POSTing your Production client_id and client_secret to https://production.plaid.com/oauth/token with grant_type=client_credentials and scope=mcp:dashboard, then copy the returned access_token. Note: these tokens expire after ~15 minutes, so you must refresh this value periodically.",
