# OAuth Documentation Updates Summary ## Overview This document summarizes the comprehensive OAuth documentation updates made to reflect the current implementation improvements in MCP Foxxy Bridge. ## Key Improvements Documented ### 1. Dynamic OAuth Discovery - **Previous**: Manual OAuth endpoint mappings required - **Current**: Automatic discovery from multiple endpoints: - Server-specific discovery (e.g., `https://mcp.example.com/sse/.well-known/openid_configuration`) - Base URL discovery (e.g., `https://mcp.example.com/.well-known/openid_configuration`) - Falls back to configured issuer if discovery fails ### 2. OAuth Preflight Checks - **New Feature**: OAuth configuration validated immediately on bridge startup - **Benefit**: Immediate error detection and clear error messages before full bridge initialization - **Documentation**: Added to OAuth flow overview and troubleshooting guides ### 3. OAuth CLI Commands - **New Commands**: - `foxxy-bridge oauth login <server>` - Initiate OAuth flow - `foxxy-bridge oauth logout <server>` - Clear stored tokens - `foxxy-bridge oauth status [server]` - Check OAuth status - **Documentation**: Added to CLI reference and OAuth guide ### 4. No Hardcoded Scopes - **Previous**: Scopes might be hardcoded in configuration - **Current**: Scopes dynamically determined from server requirements - **Documentation**: Updated configuration examples and security guide ### 5. Transport-Aware OAuth - **Feature**: Different OAuth handling for SSE vs HTTP streaming transports - **Documentation**: Clarified in OAuth guide and configuration documentation ## Files Updated ### Primary Documentation Files 1. **docs/oauth.md** - Added dynamic discovery details - Updated OAuth flow with preflight checks - Added CLI commands section - Enhanced troubleshooting with new error patterns - Removed references to manual OAuth mappings 2. **docs/cli-reference.md** - Added OAuth login command documentation - Added OAuth logout command documentation - Updated OAuth status command (removed duplicate naming) - Added detailed output examples 3. **docs/configuration.md** - Updated OAuth configuration examples - Added notes about auto-discovery - Clarified issuer field is optional - Added scopes field documentation 4. **docs/troubleshooting.md** - Updated OAuth error messages to reflect preflight checks - Added discovery attempt verification steps - Updated CLI commands to use new syntax - Added more detailed debug instructions 5. **docs/security.md** - Updated OAuth security features list - Added dynamic discovery and preflight validation - Updated OAuth configuration examples to show SSE/HTTP usage - Added notes about transport awareness 6. **docs/api.md** - Added OAuth endpoints section - Updated authentication section to mention OAuth support - Added links to OAuth guide ### Example Configuration Files 1. **docs/examples/oauth-ssl-config.json** - Added comments showing issuer auto-discovery - Clarified when manual issuer is needed - Updated to show best practices ## Key Messages Reinforced ### Security Best Practices - SSL verification enabled by default - Only disable SSL for development with self-signed certificates - Warnings logged when SSL verification is disabled ### Configuration Simplification - Issuer field is optional (auto-discovered) - No need for manual OAuth endpoint mappings - Scopes determined dynamically from server ### Error Handling Improvements - OAuth errors detected immediately during preflight - Clear error messages showing all discovery attempts - Better guidance for troubleshooting ## Removed Outdated Information - Manual OAuth endpoint mappings - Hardcoded scope requirements - Old `oauth-status` command (now just `status`) - References to complex OAuth configuration ## Next Steps 1. **Testing**: Verify all documented OAuth flows work as described 2. **Examples**: Consider adding more OAuth configuration examples 3. **Migration Guide**: Could add a section for users upgrading from older versions 4. **Video Tutorial**: Consider creating a video walkthrough of OAuth setup ## Impact These documentation updates ensure that: - Users can leverage the simplified OAuth setup - Troubleshooting is easier with better error messages - The documentation accurately reflects the current implementation - Security best practices are clearly communicated
