Will my client connect?

Decided from what the probe found at the endpoint, and from what each client's own documentation says it can complete. Every row carries the day that documentation was read.

How to authenticate

Checked against the endpoint by our probe on 4 Nov 2026. These are the capabilities the server advertises, not a prediction about any particular client.

Scheme	No auth
Protected-resource metadata	✕Not found Without it a client has to guess where the authorization server lives.
Anonymous access	Handshake succeeds; 8 tools listable
Credentials demanded in prose	✕get_incidents These tools are listed anonymously and their own descriptions ask for an account or key, but no challenge is issued — so a client has nothing to act on and the refusal arrives as a tool error.

What the probe found

warningTools needing credentials are listed without a challenge

1 of the 8 tools listed anonymously say in their own descriptions that they need an account or a key (get_incidents), but the endpoint issued no WWW-Authenticate challenge. The requirement is stated only in prose, so a call reaches the tool and comes back as a tool error instead of an authorization step.

No server card

Neither the reserved <endpoint>/server-card location nor the domain's /.well-known/ai-catalog.json describes this endpoint (SEP-2127), so a client that discovers servers by domain will not find it.
