Koichi ITO 145a6b6230 Support SEP-990 Cross-App Access via ID-JAG and the jwt-bearer Grant
## Motivation and Context

The MCP Enterprise Managed Authorization extension (SEP-990, modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#990,
accepted/final, published in the ext-auth repository) lets enterprise identity providers govern MCP authorization:
the client exchanges an IdP-issued ID token for an Identity Assertion Authorization Grant (ID-JAG) via
RFC 8693 token exchange at the IdP, then presents the ID-JAG to the MCP authorization server with
the RFC 7523 `jwt-bearer` grant, authenticating with `client_secret_basic`.
The `auth/cross-app-access-complete-flow` conformance scenario exercises the complete flow and previously failed
its two core checks (the Ruby client ran the authorization-code flow instead).

This mirrors the merged TypeScript SDK implementation (`requestJwtAuthorizationGrant` / `CrossAppAccessProvider` in
typescript-sdk; the Python SDK tracks the same work in the open python-sdk#1721), adapted to this SDK's provider design:

- New `MCP::Client::OAuth::IDJAGTokenExchange.request` performs the RFC 8693 exchange at the IdP token endpoint
  (`subject_token_type` id_token, `requested_token_type` id-jag, `audience` = the MCP authorization server's issuer,
  `resource` = the canonical MCP server URL) and validates that the response's `issued_token_type` is an ID-JAG
  before returning the assertion. The ID-JAG itself is treated as opaque, as in the TypeScript SDK.
- New `MCP::Client::OAuth::CrossAppAccessProvider` declares `authorization_flow :jwt_bearer` and takes the assertion
  from a callable (`call(audience:, resource:)`), so the common `IDJAGTokenExchange` case, enterprise secret stores,
  and tests all plug in the same way (the TypeScript provider's assertion callback works identically).
  The MCP AS credentials are stored as `client_secret_basic` client information.
- `Flow` dispatches `:jwt_bearer` alongside `:client_credentials`: discovery, issuer validation, and endpoint security checks
  are shared with `run!`, then `run_jwt_bearer!` requests the assertion with the validated issuer as the audience and posts
  the `jwt-bearer` grant through the existing `post_to_token_endpoint`.
- The conformance client builds a `CrossAppAccessProvider` when the harness injects `idp_id_token` (exchanging it at
  `idp_token_endpoint` with `idp_client_id`, like the TypeScript and Python conformance clients),
  and `auth/cross-app-access-complete-flow` is removed from `conformance/expected_failures.yml`.

## How Has This Been Tested?

- New `test/mcp/client/oauth/id_jag_token_exchange_test.rb` asserts the exact RFC 8693 form parameters on the wire
  and the response validation: a non-ID-JAG `issued_token_type` is rejected, as are a missing `access_token`,
  non-2xx responses, unparseable bodies, and non-object JSON.
- New `test/mcp/client/oauth/cross_app_access_provider_test.rb` covers the provider surface:
  stored `client_secret_basic` credentials, the `:jwt_bearer` flow declaration, audience/resource passthrough to
  the assertion callable, constructor validation (missing client_id, missing client_secret, non-callable assertion provider),
  and storage delegation.
- New tests in `test/mcp/client/oauth/flow_test.rb` run the full grant against WebMock stubs: the token request carries
  `grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer`, the assertion, the RFC 8707 `resource`, and HTTP Basic credentials,
  with no DCR and no authorization-code machinery; the assertion callable receives the validated issuer as `audience`
  and the canonical server URL as `resource`; an empty assertion aborts before the token endpoint is contacted.

## Breaking Changes

None. `IDJAGTokenExchange` and `CrossAppAccessProvider` are new, and the `Flow` dispatch only activates for providers
that declare `authorization_flow :jwt_bearer`.

MCP Conformance Tests

Validates the Ruby SDK's conformance to the MCP specification using @modelcontextprotocol/conformance.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (for npx)
  • bundle install completed

Running the Tests

Run all scenarios

bundle exec rake conformance

Runs both server and client conformance tests in sequence. Server conformance starts the conformance server and tests it. Client conformance spawns test servers for each scenario and invokes conformance/client.rb against them. Scenarios listed in expected_failures.yml are allowed to fail without affecting the exit code.

Environment variables

Variable Description Default
PORT Server port (server conformance only) 9292
SCENARIO Run a single scenario by name (all)
SPEC_VERSION Filter scenarios by spec version (all)
VERBOSE Show raw JSON output when set (off)
# Run a single server scenario
bundle exec rake conformance SCENARIO=ping

# Use a different port with verbose output
bundle exec rake conformance PORT=3000 VERBOSE=1

# Start the server on a specific port
bundle exec rake conformance_server PORT=3000

Start the server and test separately

# Terminal 1: start the server
bundle exec rake conformance_server

# Terminal 2: run all scenarios
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance server --url http://localhost:9292/mcp

# Terminal 2: run a single scenario
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance server --url http://localhost:9292/mcp --scenario ping

Keeps the server alive between test runs, which avoids the startup overhead when iterating on a single scenario. Stop the server with Ctrl+C when done.

List available scenarios

bundle exec rake conformance_list

Prints all scenario names that can be passed to SCENARIO.

SDK Tier Report

The MCP SDK Tier system requires SDK maintainers to self-assess and report results to the SDK Working Group via modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol issues.

To generate a full tier assessment report, use the /mcp-sdk-tier-audit slash command from the modelcontextprotocol/conformance repository with the conformance server running:

# Terminal 1 (this repository): start the conformance server
bundle exec rake conformance_server

# Terminal 2 (conformance repository): run the tier audit skill as a slash command in Claude Code
/mcp-sdk-tier-audit /path/to/modelcontextprotocol/ruby-sdk http://localhost:9292/mcp

The skill evaluates conformance pass rate, issue label taxonomy, triage metrics, documentation coverage, and policy compliance, then produces a markdown report suitable for tier advancement submissions.

Known Limitations

Known-failing scenarios are registered in conformance/expected_failures.yml. They are allowed to fail without affecting the exit code and are tracked to catch regressions. These are shown in the output of bundle exec rake conformance.
