feat: specify OIDC application_type during dynamic client registration (SEP-837) (#883)
* feat(auth): specify OIDC application_type during client registration

SEP-837 [1] requires an MCP client to specify an application_type during
OIDC Dynamic Client Registration. When it is omitted, OIDC servers
default the client to "web", which conflicts with the loopback redirect
URIs that CLI and desktop clients use, so the registration can be
rejected.

I make register_client always send an application_type. It defaults to
"native" to match the loopback redirect this SDK uses, and I added
OAuthClientConfig::with_application_type so web clients can opt in. Tests
cover the serialized request body and the config default. Implements [2].

* chore(auth): declare application_type in client metadata document

I set application_type to "native" in the hosted client metadata
document so the URL-based client id flow and dynamic registration agree
on the client type that SEP-837 [1] expects.

Crates.io Documentation

The official Rust SDK for the Model Context Protocol. Build MCP servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI assistants — or build clients that connect to them.

For getting started, usage guides, and full MCP feature documentation (resources, prompts, sampling, roots, logging, completions, subscriptions, etc.), see the main README.

Feature Flags

Feature Description Default
server Server functionality and the tool system
client Client functionality
macros #[tool] / #[prompt] macros (re-exports rmcp-macros)
schemars JSON Schema generation for tool definitions
auth OAuth 2.0 authentication support
elicitation Elicitation support

Transport features

Feature Description
transport-io Server-side stdio transport
transport-child-process Client-side stdio transport (spawns a child process)
transport-async-rw Generic async read/write transport
transport-streamable-http-client Streamable HTTP client (transport-agnostic)
transport-streamable-http-client-reqwest Streamable HTTP client with default reqwest backend
transport-streamable-http-server Streamable HTTP server transport

TLS backend options (for HTTP transports)

Feature Description
reqwest Uses rustls — pure Rust TLS (recommended default)
reqwest-native-tls Uses platform-native TLS (OpenSSL / Secure Transport / SChannel)
reqwest-tls-no-provider Uses rustls without a default crypto provider (bring your own)

Transports

The transport layer is pluggable. Two built-in pairs cover the most common cases:

Client Server
stdio TokioChildProcess stdio
Streamable HTTP StreamableHttpClientTransport StreamableHttpService

Any type that implements the Transport trait can be used. The IntoTransport helper trait provides automatic conversions from:

  1. (Sink, Stream) or a combined Sink + Stream
  2. (AsyncRead, AsyncWrite) or a combined AsyncRead + AsyncWrite
  3. A Worker implementation
  4. A Transport implementation directly
