MCP Gets OAuth: Understanding the New Authorization Specification

From the creator

The Model Context Protocol now fully embraces OAuth 2.1 conventions, bringing mature authorization patterns to AI agent ecosystems. Rather than inventing new auth mechanisms, MCP adopted proven OAuth flows, dynamic client registration, as well as the brand-new Protected Resource Metadata conventions. This session explores how the new spec significantly simplifies the developer experience for both MCP client and server implementers, as well as gives developers more flexibility around integration with existing authorization servers.
