        notes: >-
          Admin MCP server is an OAuth 2.1 protected resource. A credential-less
          client receives 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header advertising the
          protected-resource metadata document (RFC 9728); the client then runs
          the authorization flow.
    audience_binding: RFC 8707 — access token aud claim must include ${ROOT_URL}/mcpm-admin/mcp
    subject: token sub claim carries the resolved MCP Manager identity

authorization:
  entitlement: ff-mcpm-admin (plan-level; checked before authn/capability; 403 if missing, 503 if check fails)
  capability_gating: every operation enforces the same capability as the equivalent app action
  no_capability_ops: [whoami, list_capabilities, create_access_token, list_access_tokens, revoke_access_token]
