Summary

  • stop requesting Plane's unsupported bare read and write OAuth scopes
  • advertise configured required scopes instead of a separate hardcoded list
  • keep verified token scope claims aligned with configured required scopes
  • add regression coverage for empty scope metadata, omitted upstream scope, and custom verifier scopes

Fixes #207.

Why

Plane uses resource/action scopes such as projects:read. FastMCP forwarded the hardcoded values as scope=read write, causing Plane to return invalid_scope before token exchange.

With empty required scopes, FastMCP omits the upstream scope parameter and Plane can apply the OAuth app's configured permissions.

Scope

Header-auth scope handling remains intentionally unchanged:

  • PlaneHeaderAuthProvider(required_scopes=["read", "write"]) does not run Plane's OAuth authorization flow or send scopes upstream. It validates a presented API key and returns matching internal AccessToken.scopes values, so it cannot trigger Plane's invalid_scope response.
    PlaneOAuthTokenVerifier now returns its configured required scopes so custom resource/action scopes remain consistent through downstream authorization. Plane's user endpoint does not expose granted scopes, so these claims reflect scopes requested by the completed OAuth flow.

Validation

  • pytest tests/test_oauth_scopes.py tests/test_oauth_security.py -q: 10 passed
  • Ruff lint and format checks passed
  • Kubernetes OAuth E2E against a strict Plane-compatible mock:
    • unmodified v0.3.0: scope=read writeinvalid_scope
    • patched image: DCR, PKCE, browser consent, token exchange, identity verification, MCP initialization, and tools/list succeeded
    • result: SUCCESS server='Plane MCP Server' tools=28
    • custom projects:read configuration: authorization requested scope=projects%3Aread; token verification, MCP initialization, and tools/list succeeded
  • Live Plane v3.0.0 authorization endpoint verification:
    • scope=read write returned invalid_scope
    • valid resource/action scope passed initial authorization validation
    • absent scope passed initial authorization validation and was preserved through the login redirect

Full suite on supported Python 3.11: 1083 passed, 25 skipped.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • OAuth authentication now honors the configured scope settings instead of requiring fixed read/write scopes.
    • OAuth requests correctly omit the scope when no scopes are configured.
    • Token verification now reports the configured scopes accurately.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for scope-free OAuth registration, authorization, and upstream requests.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The OAuth transport no longer requests hard-coded read and write scopes. The provider uses configured scopes for token reporting and validation. Regression tests cover empty-scope authorization and configured token scopes.

Changes

OAuth scope handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scope configuration and propagation
plane_mcp/server.py, plane_mcp/auth/plane_oauth_provider.py
The HTTP OAuth transport sets required_scopes to an empty list. The provider uses configured scopes for token reporting and OAuth proxy validation.
Empty-scope OAuth regression coverage
tests/test_oauth_scopes.py
Tests verify empty scope metadata, registration and authorization success, omission of the upstream scope parameter, and propagation of configured token scopes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5e5ce

The change removes unsupported OAuth scopes and omits the upstream scope parameter when none are required. The affected authorization flow has live endpoint and end-to-end validation, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks.

Run this test against the configured live Plane instance.

This test uses a fake plane_base_url and httpx.MockTransport, so it never reaches Plane. It can pass while the real OAuth response contract is broken. Use .env.test (copied to .env.test.local with real values) and the repository’s live-test configuration.

As per coding guidelines, tests/**/*.py: Tests run against a live Plane instance — configure via .env.test (copy to .env.test.local with real values).
