  The NewsBlur API reference documents two authentication paths: (1) a session cookie
  (`newsblur_sessionid`) obtained via POST /api/login, and (2) OAuth 2.0 with a bearer
  token in the Authorization header. OAuth client credentials are issued by NewsBlur
  (contact samuel@newsblur.com). The same OAuth flow authorizes the hosted MCP server
  at https://newsblur.com/mcp/ via a browser login-and-authorize step.
