Claude Code v2.1.224 ·

MCP servers checked for the issuer they echo back

Claude checks whether an MCP server points authentication elsewhere, logging mismatches without blocking.

What

When connecting to an MCP server over OAuth, Claude now compares the authorization-server address it asked about against the issuer value the server returns in its discovery metadata, catching a server that points authentication somewhere else. In this build the check only records telemetry: the gate tengu_mcp_issuer_strict_echo decides the mode and its in-source fallback is false, so absent a remote value the result is observe-only.

Details
  • In observe mode a mismatch is logged with outcome proceeded and the connection continues.
  • In enforce mode the connection raises an issuer echo cross-origin error and authentication fails with reason issuer_echo_denied.
  • Mismatches are classified before reporting, including same_origin and unparseable plus a reason per differing part of the URL.
  • None of this exists in 2.1.223; the whole check is new.
