Using in QGIS Desktop

Add this URL as a WMS connection in QGIS:

https://maps.axeldevlab.com/wms/

QGIS will call GetCapabilities and list all available layers.

Using in Leaflet

L.tileLayer.wms('https://maps.axeldevlab.com/wms/', {
  layers: 'main_project',
  format: 'image/png',
  transparent: true,
  crs: L.CRS.EPSG4326
}).addTo(map);
