How to authenticate
Checked against the endpoint by our probe on 8 Oct 2026. These are the capabilities the server advertises, not a prediction about any particular client.
| Scheme | OAuth |
|---|---|
| Issuer | https://dnsdoctor.dev |
| Dynamic client registration | ✕Not advertised |
| Client ID Metadata Document | ✓Supported A client identifies itself by a URL to its own metadata, so no registration step is required. |
| PKCE | ✓S256 |
| Grant types | authorization_code |
| Scopes | domains:manage, monitoring:read |
| Protected-resource metadata | ✓Published (RFC 9728) |
| Anonymous access | Handshake succeeds; 22 tools listable |
| Credentials demanded in prose | ✕get_alerts, get_readiness, get_lookalikes, add_monitored_domain 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
4 of the 22 tools listed anonymously say in their own descriptions that they need an account or a key (get_alerts, get_readiness, get_lookalikes, add_monitored_domain), 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.
A cross-origin preflight came back without Access-Control-Allow-Origin, so the endpoint is reachable from native clients only — code running in a web page is stopped by the browser before a request is ever sent.
