Authentication resolution
The DocSpace MCP server resolves authentication methods based on transport configuration and available authentication options.
Visualization
The authentication resolution process depends on the transport type used and the authentication methods configured. The following flowcharts illustrate how authentication is resolved for different scenarios.
Global Configuration
During application startup, the DocSpace MCP server validates the configured authentication methods based on the selected transport protocol.
stdio Transport
For stdio transport, exactly one authentication method must be configured.
HTTP-like Transport
HTTP-like transports support optional authentication, allowing servers to run with or without authentication depending on the use case.
Request Configuration
For HTTP-like transports, authentication can be configured on the request level using query parameters and custom headers, unless OAuth is being used.
