    The latest version of the MCP spec is now officially 2025-06-18! Congrats to everyone in the MCP community involved in making this happen!

    Key updates to the authorization section:

    βš™οΈ MCP Servers are no longer responsible for issuing access tokens or handling user authentication
    πŸ›‘οΈ A dedicated Authorization Server separate from the MCP Server handles user authentication and issuing access tokens
    πŸ” RFC9728 Protected Resource Metadata enables the MCP client to dynamically discover the MCP Server's authorization server
    πŸ‘‰ RFC8707 Resource Indicators are required as a security measure

    Thanks to everyone who contributed to the many discussions to update the authorization part of the spec to be more compatible with existing OAuth systems!

    David Soria Parra, Paul Carleton, Den Delimarsky, Nate Barbettini, William Dawson, Jared Hanson, Karl McGuinness, Darin McAdams, Jean-FranΓ§ois LOMBARDO and apologies if I forgot to mention you, those threads were extremely long!

    I've seen a lot of complaints about how MCP isn't ready for the enterprise.

    In two weeks I'll be speaking at the MCP Dev Summit in San Francisco! It's going to be a great day packed with back to back sessions.

    In less than a year, the MCP project has quickly reshaped how developers are building AI agents. My talk, "Intro to OAuth for MCP Servers", will cover the basics of the new MCP authorization protocol and set the stage for building secure MCP servers.

    Is it just me or does this current Model Context Protocol wave remind anyone of the early Web 2.0 days of everyone launching open APIs?

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
