## Issues Found
### Critical Issues
**None** - Server is stable and correctly rejecting unauthorized requests
### High Priority Issues
**None** - All authentication checks are working as expected
### Medium Priority Issues
1. **404 vs 401 Priority** (Medium)
- **Issue**: Authentication middleware returns 401 for non-existent routes
- **Impact**: Cannot distinguish between auth failure and route not found
- **Recommendation**: Allow 404 responses before authentication check for truly non-existent routes
- **Workaround**: Document that all API routes require authentication
2. **Rate Limit Headers Missing** (Low)
- **Issue**: No `X-RateLimit-*` headers in responses
- **Impact**: Clients cannot proactively manage rate limits
- **Recommendation**: Add headers: `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset`
- **Workaround**: Document rate limits in API docs
### Low Priority Issues
1. **Test API Key Generation** (Documentation)
- **Issue**: No documented way to generate test API keys
- **Impact**: Difficult to test MCP endpoints locally
- **Recommendation**: Provide script or CLI command to generate test keys
- **Workaround**: Create keys via direct database access
---

# Generate API key
python3 -c "
import hashlib, secrets
api_key = f'mcp_{secrets.token_urlsafe(32)}'
key_hash = hashlib.sha256(api_key.encode()).hexdigest()
print(f'API Key: {api_key}')
print(f'Hash: {key_hash}')
"
# Insert into database
psql postgresql://postgres:postgres@127.0.0.1:54322/postgres <<EOF
-- Create test user
INSERT INTO auth.users (id, email, encrypted_password, email_confirmed_at, created_at, updated_at)
VALUES ('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001'::uuid, 'test@example.com',
crypt('test123', gen_salt('bf')), now(), now(), now())
ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING;
-- Create test organization
INSERT INTO organizations (id, name, owner_user_id)
