DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

MCP OAuth stops sending a client id that only works for loopback

MCP OAuth stops sending a client id that only works for loopback, and repairs saved entries.

What

Both MCP OAuth providers now withhold the metadata-document URL as the client id whenever the redirect URI is not that document's loopback /callback address, falling back to a configured client or dynamic registration instead. A saved client entry holding a stale metadata URL as its client id is repaired in place.

Details
  • MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_METADATA_URL still overrides which document URL is used.
Evidence

stale CIMD client_id repair

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
