`/mcp/oauth-scopes`

Authenticated

## Security ### OAuth 2.1 Authorization All HTTP endpoints under `/mcp/` (except public documentation) are protected by OAuth 2.1: - **Token Validation**: JWTs are validated against your authorization server's JWKS endpoint (`${OAUTH_ISSUER_URL}/.well-known/jwks.json`). - **Scope Enforcement**: Each tool and admin action requires a specific OAuth scope. Configure `OAUTH_ISSUER_URL` and `OAUTH_AUDIENCE` in `.env`. See `.env.example` for details. > **STDIO users**: OAuth is not used for STDIO transport. You can skip all OAuth configuration. ### Available Scopes **Tool Execution:** - `mcp:tool:google_search:execute` - `mcp:tool:google_image_search:execute` - `mcp:tool:google_news_search:execute` - `mcp:tool:scrape_page:execute` - `mcp:tool:search_and_scrape:execute` **Administration:** - `mcp:admin:cache:read` - `mcp:admin:cache:invalidate` - `mcp:admin:cache:persist` - `mcp:admin:event-store:read` - `mcp:admin:config:read` ## MCP Resources The server exposes state via the [MCP Resources protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/specification/resources). Use `resources/list` to discover available resources and `resources/read` to retrieve them.
