What's Wrong?

The MCP server Url is https://%dnsname%/adb/mcp/v1/databases/%database-name%.

When accessed without bearer token, claude previously invokes url GET https://%dnsname%/adb/mcp/v1/databases/%database-name%/.well-known/openid-configuration

But suddenly this stopped working after this release. We did not implement any /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource endpoint since it was working previously.

As per spec mentioned here https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/basic/authorization it should support point 3

  1. OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata with path insertion: https://auth.example.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server/tenant1
  2. OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 with path insertion: https://auth.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration/tenant1
  3. OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 path appending: https://auth.example.com/tenant1/.well-known/openid-configuration

What Should Happen?

The MCP server Url is https://%dnsname%/adb/mcp/v1/databases/%database-name%.

When accessed without bearer token, claude should invoke below url to get auth endpoints.
GET https://%dnsname%/adb/mcp/v1/databases/%database-name%/.well-known/openid-configuration

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a MCP server. POST https://%dnsname%/x
  2. Return 401 if no bearer token is passed.
  3. Create endpoint GET https://%dnsname%/x/.well-known/openid-configuration
  4. Check if this endpoint is called by claude.
