Plex MCP Server

A first-party remote Model Context Protocol server operated by Plex at https://plex.tv/internal/mcp. It advertises RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata and OpenID Connect discovery from plex.tv, uses OAuth 2.1 authorization-code with PKCE (S256) and dynamic client registration, and requires the single scope "mcp". An anonymous tools/list call returns a JSON-RPC Unauthorized error, so the live tool schemas require authenticated introspection.
