Socialbee Authentication

name: SocialBee Authentication Profile
description: >-
  SocialBee publishes exactly one machine-readable authentication surface: an
  RFC 8414 OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata document at
  socialbee.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. It guards the MCP server
  at socialbee.com/wp-json/mcp/mcp-oauth-server. The SocialBee product API at
  app.socialbee.com is not public and publishes no authentication documentation.

schemes:
  - id: socialbee_oauth_mcp
    type: oauth2
    flow: authorizationCode
    description: >-
      OAuth 2.1 authorization code flow with mandatory PKCE, protecting the MCP
      server. Public clients only — the token endpoint advertises auth method
      "none", so there is no client secret.

      note: >-
        No RFC 7591 registration_endpoint. Clients identify themselves with a
        Client ID Metadata Document — an HTTPS client_id URL that resolves to the
        client's own metadata.

unauthenticated_error:
  observed: true
  http_status: 401
  content_type: application/json
  body: '{"code":"mcp_unauthorized","message":"MCP authentication required.","data":{"status":401}}'
  note: >-
    Observed on an anonymous JSON-RPC POST to the MCP endpoint. The response is a
    JSON error envelope, not RFC 9457 problem+json.

product_api:
  public: false
  host: app.socialbee.com
  note: >-
    app.socialbee.com and api.socialbee.com both exist and both require a session
    login (api.socialbee.com returns an HTML page titled "API | Login into
    SocialBee" for every path, including /openapi.json). SocialBee's help centre
    states there is no public REST API. End-user automation is brokered through
    Zapier, Make and Pabbly connectors, which hold the credentials themselves, so
    no SocialBee auth scheme is exposed to the integrator.
