cannot register my app to MFP remove server - ibm-mobilefirst

Question

I am having an issue deploying my app to a remote server. This is the error I get when trying run the cli add command:
mfpdev server add myqaserver --url https://mbmfp.mycompany.com --login admin --password aaaa --setdefault
Error: URL 'https://mbmfp.mycompany.com' is not valid. The URL must have the following format 'protocol://host:port'. Run 'mfpdev help server add' for more information.
My hostname name https://mbmfp.mycompany.com contains the port. So adding the port again will cause an issue
Initially, I tried the register command and was prompt to used the add command
mfpdev app register https://mbmfp.mycompany.com mfp
How do I fix this issue?
INFO
IBM MFP version 8.0.0-2016121916
Thanks

Doesn't look like you're executing the commands correctly...
Here's an example:
mfpdev server add
? Enter the name of the new server definition: mydevserver
? Enter the fully qualified URL of this server: http://mydevserver.example.com:9080
? Enter the MobileFirst Server administrator login ID: admin
? Enter the MobileFirst Server administrator password: admin
? Save the admin password for this server?: Yes
? Enter the context root of the MobileFirst administration services: mfpadmin
? Enter the MobileFirst Server connection timeout in seconds: 30
Verifying server configuration...
The following runtimes are currently installed on this server: mfp
Server profile 'mydevserver' added successfully.
Then, navigate to the root folder of the application and:
mfpdev app register mydevserver
