+
+Claude.ai chat enforces the full OAuth Authorization Code + PKCE flow against
+your MCP server's `/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` endpoint — there
+is no bearer-token shortcut. Pick one of these paths:
+
+**Hosted (fastest start, recommended for new setups)** — RS256 mode:
+
+| Provider | Free tier | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| [Logto Cloud](https://logto.io) | 5000 MAU | Lightest, ~30 min setup |
+| [ZITADEL Cloud](https://zitadel.com) | 25k auths/month | More featureful, slightly heavier docs |
+
+Set `Jwt__Algorithm=RS256` and `Jwt__Issuer=<your-tenant-issuer-URL>`.
+Public keys are fetched automatically from `<Issuer>/.well-known/openid-configuration`.
+
+**Self-hosted, full-featured** — RS256 mode:
+[Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org), [ZITADEL](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel), [Logto](https://github.com/logto-io/logto), [Authentik](https://goauthentik.io).
+
+**Self-hosted, minimal** — HS256 mode:
+Write your own ~500 LoC AS that issues HS256 JWTs with the right claims. The
+MCP server's `Jwt__SigningKey__Current` and the AS's signing key must match.
+
+**Required AS features regardless of choice:**
+- OAuth 2.1 + PKCE (RFC 7636)
+- Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) — so Claude.ai can self-register
+- `resource` parameter support (RFC 8707) — for audience-bound tokens
+- Custom scope support (`read:gitea`)
