Response parsing errors after OAuth flow #1173
Description
Initial Checks
- I confirm that I'm using the latest version of MCP Python SDK
- I confirm that I searched for my issue in https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/issues before opening this issue
Description
The changes in #1061 overwrite the incoming request object to async_auth_flow with the request returned by self._create_oauth_metadata_request(url).
discovery_urls = self._get_discovery_urls()
for url in discovery_urls:
request = self._create_oauth_metadata_request(url)
response = yield requestAfter the auth flow occurs and the (overwritten) request is made, the client tries to parse the result. But the result is OAuth metadata, not a JSONRPC response as expected.
Example errors:
