summary:
  types: [none, session, oauth2]
  notes: >-
    MindsDB is primarily self-hosted software. Against a local MindsDB server no
    authentication is required. Against MindsDB Cloud the SDKs authenticate with
    a login (email) + password, which establishes a session cookie used by the
    HTTP REST API. The built-in MCP server can optionally require OAuth.
schemes:
  - name: self-hosted-no-auth
    type: none
    description: Default local server (http://127.0.0.1:47334) requires no authentication.

  - name: cloud-session
    type: session
    description: >-
      MindsDB Cloud authenticates with login (email) + password; the SDK/HTTP
      client then carries a session cookie. Managed/Pro instances use the same
      login flow with is_managed set.
