This PR introduces client-side OAuth support. # Overall design philosophy The main new interface introduced to support client-side OAuth is the `OAuthHandler`. Contrary to its counter-parts in some other SDKs, it is intentionally small and generic so that it can support most of the OAuth authorization flow variants. The main `mcp` package purposefully delegates almost all auth handling to `OAuthHandler` implementations. This way, the `mcp` package continues to be largely OAuth agnostic. The `auth` package comes with a default `OAuthHandler` implementation – `AuthorizationCodeHandler`, which implements the authorization flow for the `authorization_code` grant type, as defined in the [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/basic/authorization). It is expected that the `OAuthHandler` implementation granularity will be roughly per grant type, as this parameter influences the authorization flow the most. # Detailed design ## `OAuthHandler` (auth/client.go) The main interface for the integration consists of two methods: ```go type OAuthHandler interface { // TokenSource returns a token source to be used for outgoing requests. // Returned token source might be nil. In that case, the transport will not // add any authorization headers to the request. TokenSource(context.Context) (oauth2.TokenSource, error) // Authorize is called when an HTTP request results in an error that may // be addressed by the authorization flow (currently 401 Unauthorized and 403 Forbidden). // It is responsible for performing the OAuth flow to obtain an access token. // The arguments are the request that failed and the response that was received for it. // The headers of the request are available, but the body will have already been consumed // when Authorize is called. // If the returned error is nil, TokenSource is expected to return a non-nil token source. // After a successful call to Authorize, the HTTP request will be retried by the transport. // The function is responsible for closing the response body. Authorize(context.Context, *http.Request, *http.Response) error } ``` `StreamableClientTransport` accepts this interface as a field and uses the `TokenSource` method to add an `Authorization: Bearer` header to outgoing requests to the MCP server. If the request fails with `401: Unauthorized` or `403: Forbidden`, the transport calls `Authorize` to perform the authorization flow. If `Authorize` returns a non-nil error, the request is retried once. `Authorize` errors do not result in termination of the client session (unless they happen during connection initialization), as some OAuth flows are multi-legged and it should be acceptable to retry for example when the authorization grant was received. *Note:* There was already an `OAuthHandler` type defined as part of a previous iteration of OAuth support. It was renamed to `OAuthHandlerLegacy`. This is the only backwards incompatible API change in the experimental client `auth` part (protected by the `mcp_go_client_oauth` Go build tag). The cost of replacing previous usages is deemed worthwhile to maintain clear naming, under the assumption that the experimental client `auth` part was not widely used. ## `AuthorizationCodeHandler` (auth/authorization_code.go) This is the `OAuthHandler` implementation that fulfills the [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/basic/authorization). In particular, in supports: - Protected Resource Metadata discovery and fetching - Authorization Server Metadata discovery and fetching - Client registration - OpenID Connect metadata document - Pre-registration - Dynamic Client Registration - PKCE - `client_secret_post`, `client_secret_basic` token endpoint auth methods - Automatic refresh of tokens ### Authorization Server redirect As part of the flow for the `authorization_code` grant type, the client needs to point the user to the authorization URL, so that they confirm the access request. This design proposes that it will be supported via a pluggable dependency that will initiate this process in an application-specific way: ```go type AuthorizationCodeHandler struct { ... // AuthorizationCodeFetcher is a required function called to initiate the authorization flow. // It is responsible for opening the URL in a browser for the user to start the authorization process. // It should return the authorization code and state once the Authorization Server // redirects back to the RedirectURL. AuthorizationCodeFetcher func(ctx context.Context, args *AuthorizationArgs) (*AuthorizationResult, error) ... } ``` The function is supposed perform any application specific logic to handle the redirect from the Authorization Server and return the resulting code and state. ## `oauthex` changes Some additional/adjusted building blocks that may be useful when creating `OAuthHandler` implementations are present in the `oauthex` package: - `auth_meta.go`: Authorization Server Metadata utilities: - `GetAuthServerMeta`: get Authorization Server Metadata from a URL - `dcr.go`: Dynamic Client Registration utilities (unchanged) - `resource_meta.go`: Protected Resource Metadata utilities: - `GetProtectedResourceMetadata`: get Protected Resource Metadata from a URL - `ParseWWWAuthenticate` – as per name (unchanged) - [deprecated] `GetProtectedResourceMetadataFromID` and `GetProtectedResourceMetadataFromHeader` in favor of more generic `GetProtectedResourceMetadata`. They will be kept under the Go build tag and removed one version of the SDK in the future.
