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 3 Sep 2026. These are the capabilities the server advertises, not a prediction about any particular client.

Scheme	API key
Protected-resource metadata	✕Not found Without it a client has to guess where the authorization server lives.
Anonymous access	Handshake succeeds; 2 tools listable
Credentials demanded in prose	✕score_prompt, optimize_prompt 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

warningAuthentication is required, but not via OAuth

The server challenged for credentials without pointing at any OAuth metadata, so it most likely expects a bearer token or API key you have to obtain by hand. Add it as a header when saving the server.

No CORS headers for browser-based clients

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.
