From a9665490861af2f99840f9bddb5a6335b69c20a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Otto Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 09:58:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/18] feat(auth): add JWT-bearer helper for WIF client conformance (SEP-1933) Adds createWorkloadJwt and generateWorkloadKeypair to provide reusable, tested JWT signing infrastructure for the upcoming wif-jwt-bearer scenario (PR #2). Also extracts JWT_BEARER_GRANT_TYPE constant and migrates cross-app-access.ts to use it.

The scenario pre-signs valid, wrong-audience, and expired JWTs on start() to simulate cloud workload identity tokens. The conformance AS verifies the assertion and emits per-class checks (wif-assertion-verified, wif-assertion-missing, wif-assertion-audience, wif-assertion-expired, wif-assertion-malformed). Broken example clients exercise the missing-assertion and wrong-audience failure paths.

From e5e13c407593f576df5d0e5f75d0cc9f423f6f93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Otto Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 23:04:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 18/18] fix(wif-jwt-bearer): export scope constants, remove unused AS field, annotate state machine - Export WIF_TRIGGER_UNAUTHORIZED_SCOPE and WIF_REJECTED_SCOPE from createWorkloadJwt.ts and import them in everything-client.ts; removes duplicate bare-string declarations that could silently diverge - Remove tokenEndpointAuthSigningAlgValuesSupported from mock AS config; the SDK does not consume this field in the JWT-bearer flow - Add comment to onTokenRequest clarifying wif-no-retry and wif-grant-fallback fire on any second request after any failure, not only post-unauthorized_client Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 --- examples/clients/typescript/everything-client.ts | 10 ++++++---- src/scenarios/client/auth/helpers/createWorkloadJwt.ts | 5 +++++ src/scenarios/client/auth/wif-jwt-bearer.ts | 7 ++++--- 3 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/examples/clients/typescript/everything-client.ts b/examples/clients/typescript/everything-client.ts index c74937d9..c37ed0cd 100644 --- a/examples/clients/typescript/everything-client.ts +++ b/examples/clients/typescript/everything-client.ts @@ -25,7 +25,11 @@ import type { OAuthClientMetadata, OAuthTokens } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/shared/auth.js';
