### Split OAuth and MCP resource URLs

By default, OAuth tokens are accepted for the MCP resource derived from
`server.publicBaseUrl`, for example `https://devspace.example.com/mcp`.

Some deployments intentionally use a different externally visible MCP resource.
OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel is one example: DevSpace's browser-facing OAuth server
can stay at `https://devspace.example.com` while ChatGPT reaches MCP through an
OpenAI-hosted tunnel resource.

Add those MCP resource URLs explicitly:

```bash
devspace config set oauth.allowedResourceUrls https://api.openai.com/v1/mcp/tunnel_...
```

or configure more than one:

```bash
devspace config set oauth.allowedResourceUrls \
https://api.openai.com/v1/mcp/tunnel_... \
https://gateway.example.com/devspace/mcp
```

`server.publicBaseUrl` remains the public DevSpace/OAuth URL and its `/mcp`
resource remains accepted. `oauth.allowedResourceUrls` only adds explicitly
trusted MCP resource identities; use the exact tunnel or gateway resource path
rather than a broad gateway origin.

## OAuth Resource Rejected Behind A Secure Tunnel

If OAuth is public at one origin but ChatGPT reaches MCP through another resource,
DevSpace can reject the OAuth request with `Invalid or missing OAuth resource` or
later return `401 Unauthorized`.

Keep `publicBaseUrl` on the public DevSpace/OAuth origin and add the exact external
MCP resource:

```bash
npx @waishnav/devspace config set oauth.allowedResourceUrls \
https://api.openai.com/v1/mcp/tunnel_...
```

This is the expected setup for OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel and similar split-origin
gateways. Do not configure only `https://api.openai.com`; use the full resource
path assigned to your tunnel.

OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel is different from a normal public reverse proxy: MCP

### OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel

For OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel, keep `server.publicBaseUrl` set to the public HTTPS
origin that exposes DevSpace's OAuth endpoints. Point `tunnel-client` at the
private DevSpace MCP endpoint, usually `http://127.0.0.1:7676/mcp`, and add the
exact tunnel-facing MCP resource that ChatGPT uses:

```bash
npx @waishnav/devspace config set oauth.allowedResourceUrls \
https://api.openai.com/v1/mcp/tunnel_...
```

Use the exact resource URL from your OpenAI tunnel setup. DevSpace validates that
resource during authorization, token exchange and refresh, and every `/mcp`
bearer-token request.

A Coding Agents-only setup skips this section.

Make the restart requirement explicit when changing oauth.allowedResourceUrls.

The configuration command only persists the file, while the running server loads the resource policy at startup. A successful update therefore does not affect the current process until restart. Print an explicit restart requirement and add the same guidance to docs/configuration.md and docs/gotchas.md, or implement configuration reload.

@modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.29.0 auth-utils checkResourceAllowed resourceUrlFromServerUrl source

💡 Result:

In the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, checkResourceAllowed and resourceUrlFromServerUrl are utility functions located in the shared/auth-utils (or authUtils) module, designed to facilitate OAuth resource authorization in accordance with RFC 8707 [1][2][3]. Function Details: 1. checkResourceAllowed: This function verifies if a requested resource URL is authorized against a configured resource URL [1][3]. It confirms that both URLs share the same scheme, domain, and port [3]. Furthermore, it checks that the requested resource path starts with the configured resource path (ensuring subpath matching is handled correctly by normalizing trailing slashes) [3][4]. It returns true if the match is successful, and false otherwise [1][3]. 2. resourceUrlFromServerUrl: This function converts a server URL into a resource URL by stripping the fragment component [1][3]. This adheres to RFC 8707 Section 2, which states that resource URIs must not include a fragment component [1][3]. These utilities are commonly used when implementing OAuth flows to bind tokens to specific server resources and validate that requested audiences match the expected MCP server URL [5][6]. They are exported from @modelcontextprotocol/sdk/shared/auth-utils [2][5].

site:modelcontextprotocol.io OAuth resource URI HTTPS localhost HTTP bearer token

💡 Result:

In the context of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and modern OAuth 2.1 implementations, bearer tokens are required to be sent via the HTTP Authorization header [1][2][3]. While security standards strictly mandate HTTPS for all production communication to protect bearer tokens, exceptions are made for development environments using local loopback addresses [2][4][5]. Key points regarding the use of bearer tokens with localhost and HTTP: 1. Security Requirement: OAuth 2.1 and MCP specifications require that all authorization server endpoints be served over HTTPS [2][3]. This is to prevent the interception of sensitive bearer tokens. 2. Loopback/Localhost Exception: Development environments are permitted to use plain HTTP when the resource URI or redirect URI is explicitly localhost (or another loopback host) [2][4][5]. This allows for local development and testing without requiring complex certificate management [4]. 3. Transmission Method: Bearer tokens must be sent using the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer ) [1][3]. They must not be included in the URI query string, as query parameters can be logged or exposed in browser history [1][6][3]. 4. Implementation Enforcement: Software Development Kits (SDKs), such as the MCP Python or Ruby SDKs, enforce these security boundaries [4][5]. They will generally reject the use of plain HTTP for remote hosts, allowing it only when the host is identified as a local loopback address [4]. In summary, while you should prioritize HTTPS for all traffic, using plain HTTP for bearer token authentication is restricted to localhost/loopback scenarios during development to ensure security remains intact in production environments [4][5].

Restrict additional resources to HTTPS endpoints.

Allow http: only for explicit loopback resources. z.string().url() currently accepts non-HTTP schemes and non-loopback HTTP URLs. The OAuth provider stores approved resources with issued tokens, so a configured remote HTTP resource can expose bearer tokens over plaintext.
