Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to A server can direct authentication discovery to a private address despite public-endpoint protection, and a large metadata response can exhaust client memory. Guard and bound issuer fetches before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to A configured server can now trigger additional requests before sign-in. Some of those requests lack the fallback’s response-size limit and can target private-network services. This creates meaningful memory-exhaustion and network-boundary risks despite the origin checks and timeout. Retained concerns

Retry transient client statuses during discovery
Statuses such as 429 Too Many Requests, 408 Request Timeout, and 425 Too Early are neither server errors nor definitive absence statuses, but this branch returns Fetched::Missing for all of them. If the origin returns one of these statuses for every lookup, discovery becomes NotFound and is cached permanently for the client, so a later 401 cannot retry after the rate limit or temporary condition clears. Return Fetched::Transient for retryable statuses instead of treating every non-5xx response as missing.

Preserve trailing slashes in protected-resource metadata paths
For an endpoint such as https://example.test/mcp/, this constructs the path-specific candidate /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp instead of /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp/. A server that publishes only the RFC 9728 document at the resource's actual path-with-trailing-slash will therefore be missed, and discovery can incorrectly fall through to NotFound or unrelated origin metadata. Preserve the endpoint path, while still treating / as the empty path used for the origin-root candidate.

Fall back when named metadata lacks sign-in endpoints
This returns as soon as any named authorization-server document parses, even when every returned server lacks either the authorization or token endpoint. In that case offers_sign_in() is false, but the code never reaches origin_authorization_server, so a usable RFC 8414 or OpenID document published on the MCP origin is ignored. For example, a protected-resource document naming an AS whose metadata contains only issuer, while the MCP origin serves complete metadata, produces no usable discovery result. Only return here when at least one named server has both endpoints; otherwise retain the protected-resource metadata and continue to the origin fallback.

Constrain authorization-server metadata fetches
issuer comes directly from the protected-resource document fetched from the MCP server, so a remote server can make the client request an arbitrary URL. This call uses the regular HTTP client rather than the bounded, no-redirect discovery_http path used by fetch_discovery_json; consequently an issuer can target internal services or redirect the request elsewhere, and the existing metadata fetch can consume an unbounded response. Fetch issuer metadata through a dedicated bounded, no-redirect discovery routine and validate the URL before sending the request.

Denial of Service
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-400 — Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
Bound named-issuer metadata response bodies. A same-origin protected-resource document can name an authorization server on another host. This path fetches that issuer’s metadata with self.http, and fetch_json reads the full response with .text() before decoding it. The five-second discovery timeout limits duration, not bytes buffered; a fast, large response can exhaust client memory when a Bearer 401 triggers discovery. Use a no-redirect, streaming reader capped at MAX_DOCUMENT_BYTES for these issuer fetches, while allowing cross-origin issuer URLs.

Check issuer addresses before fetching metadata.
On a Bearer 401, read_authorization_servers() passes each advertised issuer to fetch_authorization_server_metadata() without checking its address. OAuthFlow calls discover_authorization() before its later public-endpoint checks, which cover authorization, token, and registration endpoints—not the issuer URL. A public MCP server can therefore make a client request RFC 8414 or OpenID metadata from a loopback or private address, even when require_public_endpoints() is enabled. Apply that policy to each issuer before its metadata request.

Summary
Implements OAuth discovery via well-known metadata when a 401 Bearer response lacks
resource_metadata, enabling support for servers that publish AS metadata separately from their API (e.g.,https://mcp-server.zomato.com/mcpreturns 401; metadata lives at the origin's.well-known/oauth-authorization-server).Problem
Servers in the 2025-03-26 style answer 401 Bearer without
resource_metadataand publish OAuth AS metadata at well-known paths on their own origin. The priordetectlogic read only the challenge, reported "static token" when no metadata was present, andbegingave a misleading DCR error when the user tried to sign in.Solution
New
transport/http/discovery.rsmodule runs only on a Bearer 401 withoutresource_metadata, in this precedence order:.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, then OpenID Connect at.well-known/openid-configuration.Each lookup respects constraints: PRM is used only when its resource is same-origin, and AS metadata only when its issuer is the origin (one trailing slash tolerated for bare-origin). Endpoints are never guessed. A separate HTTP client follows no redirects. Per-body cap is 64 KiB; total timeout is 5 s. Redirects and status 401/403/404/410 count as not found. 5xx and transport errors are transient and not cached; definitive results are cached per client instance.
Unauthorized.resource_metadatanow points to the discovered document when an AS with authorize and token endpoints is found, soadvertises_oauth, the status hint, and the bridge outcome agree. Basic challenges are never looked up.beginnow issues two distinctAuthDiscoverydetails with updated English.can_drive_sign_inis unchanged (servers without DCR like GitHub still refused);an_authorization_server_without_dynamic_registration_is_refusedis untouched.Test names (
UnknownMetadataShape,AssumedStatic,MetadataAtRoot) renamed; assertions preserved. Docs and ROADMAP updated.Related issue
