  The public dPID Resolver API (beta.dpid.org) requires no authentication — it is a read-only
  resolver with no securitySchemes in its OpenAPI. The DeSci Nodes backend (desci-server, via
  @desci-labs/nodes-lib) authenticates with a per-user API key created under the profile at
  nodes.desci.com and set via setApiKey; write operations on draft nodes additionally require
  cryptographic signing (Metamask signer or a private-key signer). The SciWeave MCP server
  authenticates with OAuth 2.0 or a Bearer API key.
