This PR functions as a Reference implementation of
[SEP-2468](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/pull/2468)
/ [RFC9207](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9207/).
This PR hardens the MCP OAuth Client functionality against Mix-Up
attacks:
> Mix-up attacks aim to steal an authorization code or access token by
> tricking the client into sending the authorization code or access
> token to the attacker instead of the honest authorization or resource
> server
This PR hardens the client by adding support for a new `iss` parameter
in authorization responses:
- Authorization Servers broadcast support for the `iss` parameter via
the `authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported` metadata parameter
- If the parameter is supported, clients expect to receive the `iss`
parameter in the authorization response
- Clients compare the `iss` parameter in the authorization response to
the `Issuer` parameter in the authorization metadata. The two must match
exactly for the response to be processed.
Fixes#941
The auth-middleware example currently defaults to `-http :8080`, which
binds to all interfaces (LAN-exposed) by default.
This changes the default to `localhost:8080` and adds a short comment
noting `-http 0.0.0.0:8080` if you intentionally want to expose it.
Rationale: this example serves token-generation endpoints and
authenticated MCP routes; binding loopback by default avoids accidental
exposure while keeping the opt-in remote behavior.

Converted timing-based tests to use Go 1.25's synctest for instant,
deterministic execution with simulated time.
Moved converted tests to *_go125_test.go files. Tests using real I/O
(exec.Command, httptest) remain timing-based as they require actual
system operations.
Fixes#680

This change adds support for RFC 9728 (OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource Metadata)
by introducing a `ProtectedResourceMetadataHandler`.
The handler includes built-in CORS support with `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`
by default, as OAuth metadata is public information meant for client discovery.
Documentation includes examples for using custom CORS policies with
popular middleware libraries (github.com/rs/cors and github.com/jub0bs/cors).
The implementation follows RFC 9728 §3.1 for OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server
Metadata discovery, enabling clients to discover protected resource capabilities
and authentication requirements.
- Fix typo in "TroubleShooting" heading, changing it to
"Troubleshooting"
- Improve CLI usage instructions by formatting commands as code blocks
and marking them with "bash"
- Change "Start the Server" to a third-level heading for clarity
- Add additional code examples for real-world client testing and
interaction steps
- Clarify and condense instructions for adding the tool to a popular MCP
client

This commit introduces a new example demonstrating the integration of
authentication middleware with an MCP server. The server supports both
JWT token and API key authentication, along with scope-based access
control for various MCP tools. Key features include token generation
endpoints, in-memory API key storage, and a health check endpoint.
New files added:
- `main.go`: Implements the MCP server and authentication logic.
- `go.mod` and `go.sum`: Manage dependencies for the project.
- `README.md`: Provides setup instructions, available endpoints, and
example usage.
This example serves as a reference for implementing secure access to MCP
tools.
Fixes#330
