fix(oauth): match an origin issuer with or without a trailing slash - #157
An authorization server named by a bare http(s) origin now accepts RFC 8414 / OIDC metadata whose issuer differs from it only by one trailing slash. With this, TinyMCP can sign in to TickTick's MCP server (https://mcp.ticktick.com/), as other MCP clients already can.
TickTick's protected-resource metadata names the authorization server https://ticktick.com/, while its RFC 8414 document says "issuer": "https://ticktick.com". metadata_matches_issuer compared the two strings exactly, rejected the metadata, the OIDC fallback returned 404, and OAuthFlow::begin failed with AuthDiscovery.
metadata_matches_issuer (transport/http/mod.rs) still tries an exact match first. It also accepts the metadata when the configured issuer parses as a bare http(s) origin (path /, no query, no fragment) and both issuers equal that origin with or without one trailing slash, reusing discovery::issuer_is_origin, the rule well-known discovery already applies. RFC 3986 §6.2.3 makes an empty http path equivalent to /, so this treats two spellings of one URL as one issuer; it does not loosen RFC 8414 §3.3 for issuers with a path.
Related issue
None.
API or behavior changes
No public API change. Behavior: metadata that was wrongly rejected is now accepted, only in the origin trailing-slash case. Issuers with a path still match only themselves (/tenant vs /tenant/ stays a mismatch), and scheme, host and port must still be identical. Not breaking.
cargo test --all-features: pass (tinymcp lib 1578, tinymcp-bus 153, integration and doc tests green)
Also RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps --all-features: pass.
Tests
an_origin_issuer_matches_metadata_with_or_without_one_trailing_slash (unit): matches both directions and with an explicit port; rejects //, /tenant vs /tenant/, and a different host, scheme, port or a query.
an_origin_issuer_with_a_trailing_slash_accepts_metadata_without_one (transport): fetch_authorization_server_metadata("{origin}/") returns Ok against a server whose metadata issuer is {origin}.
an_authorization_server_named_with_a_trailing_slash_signs_in_through_its_origin_issuer (OAuth flow): a loopback server shaped like TickTick (401 Bearer with resource_metadata, authorization_servers: ["{origin}/"], RFC 8414 issuer {origin}, OIDC 404); OAuthFlow::begin registers a client and returns an {origin}/authorize?... URL with S256.
All three fail before the fix and pass after it. The existing metadata_issuer_matching_preserves_trailing_slash_identity still passes.
Documentation
Not needed: no public API or configuration change; the matching rule is described on metadata_matches_issuer.
Checklist
The change is focused on one logical change
No new #[allow(...)], #[ignore], or relaxed lints
No secrets, tokens, or .env contents in the diff or the description
Improved OAuth sign-in compatibility when an authorization server’s origin is advertised with or without a trailing slash. Metadata discovery and client registration can now proceed in this case.
OAuth issuer matching remains limited to equivalent bare origins; differences in host, scheme, port, or additional URL components are not treated as equivalent.
An authorization server named by a bare http(s) origin may publish RFC 8414
metadata whose issuer differs from that name only by one trailing slash.
TickTick's MCP server names `https://ticktick.com/` while its metadata says
`https://ticktick.com`; the strict comparison rejected the metadata and
sign-in failed with "no sign-in offered".
RFC 3986 section 6.2.3 makes an empty http path equivalent to "/", so these
are the same issuer rather than a loosening of RFC 8414 section 3.3. Exact
matching stays the rule; the origin equivalence reuses the rule well-known
discovery already applies, and issuers with a path still match only
themselves.

Diagnostics and supporting details
Full summary
Pull request purpose (title): fix(oauth): match an origin issuer with or without a trailing slash. The description states that an authorization server named by a bare http(s) origin now accepts RFC 8414/OIDC metadata whose `issuer` differs only by one trailing slash, so TinyMCP can sign in to TickTick's MCP server. The latest-push delta is unavailable, so this describes the whole pull request rather than a push delta.

Completeness: Complete Test assessment: Test coverage is assessed from changed tests and lane evidence; execution is not claimed without trusted check data.
What changed
`metadata_matches_issuer` in `crates/tinymcp/src/transport/http/mod.rs` keeps exact string equality as its first check and adds a second acceptance path: if the configured issuer parses via the new `origin_of` helper as a bare http(s) origin with path `/` and no query or fragment, the metadata is accepted when both issuers equal that origin under the existing `discovery::issuer_is_origin` rule, which permits one optional trailing slash. Issuers carrying a path still match only themselves, and scheme, host, and port must remain identical, so no public API changes; the behavioral effect is limited to metadata that was previously rejected for a trailing-slash mismatch.
Features
Modified — Origin-issuer metadata matching tolerates one trailing slash: An authorization server named as a bare origin now accepts RFC 8414/OIDC metadata whose `issuer` differs only by one trailing slash, unblocking sign-in for servers that spell the two documents differently; path-bearing issuers and differing scheme, host, or port are still rejected. (crates/tinymcp/src/transport/http/mod.rsfn rfc8414_metadata_url(issuer: &str) -> Result<String> {, crates/tinymcp/src/transport/http/mod.rsuse crate::transport::resources::{)
Added — `origin_of` bare-origin parsing helper: Classifies an issuer string as a bare http(s) origin only when the parsed URL has path `/` and no query or fragment, delimiting exactly when the relaxed comparison applies. (crates/tinymcp/src/transport/http/mod.rsfn rfc8414_metadata_url(issuer: &str) -> Result<String> {)
Tests
unit — A trailing-slash matrix over `metadata_matches_issuer`: matches in both directions and with an explicit port, and rejects `//`, `/tenant` vs `/tenant/`, differing host, scheme, or port, and a query-bearing issuer.: Directly pins both the accepted and rejected cases of the relaxed rule. (crates/tinymcp/src/transport/http/mod_tests.rsfn metadata_issuer_matching_preserves_trailing_slash_identity() {)
integration — `fetch_authorization_server_metadata("{origin}/")` succeeds against a local server whose RFC 8414 document publishes the issuer without the trailing slash, and returns that metadata.: Covers the metadata fetch path that previously failed. (crates/tinymcp/src/transport/http/mod_tests.rsasync fn complete_rfc8414_metadata_is_returned_without_oidc_discovery() {)
integration — A loopback server shaped like the reported case — 401 Bearer with `resource_metadata`, `authorization_servers` with a trailing slash, RFC 8414 issuer without one, OIDC 404 — lets `OAuthFlow::begin` register a client and return an `{origin}/authorize?` URL with S256.: Exercises the sign-in discovery path at the flow level, but the tests lane notes it does not reach the new match path because the served RFC 8414 document advertises the issuer without a trailing slash.

tests
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Lane summary: The change relaxes issuer matching so a bare origin issuer tolerates one trailing slash, and one behavioural test (`fetch_authorization_server_metadata`) would fail without it. However, the end-to-end test that is the actual motivation — the trailing-slash server naming itself through protected-resource metadata — passes only because the RFC 8414 document advertises no trailing slash, so the new match path of `metadata_matches_issuer` is not what it exercises, and the case where the slashed document fails validation and falls back to the deliberately-404 OIDC document is no longer covered by any test. No code defect found in the matching logic itself. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `00bb929a2604`), so retrieved context may be out of date._

description
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Positive: Description lane answered that the description matches the diff, naming the trailing-slash matching, the reuse of `issuer_is_origin`, unchanged path/query/scheme/host/port behavior, and the three new tests present in the diff.
Lane summary: This is a description review. The PR body accurately describes the diff: `metadata_matches_issuer` still tries exact match first, then the new `origin_of` + `issuer_is_origin` origin-with-one-trailing-slash rule, exactly as the summary and behavior sections claim. The listed tests (unit `an_origin_issuer_matches_metadata_with_or_without_one_trailing_slash`, transport `an_origin_issuer_with_a_trailing_slash_accepts_metadata_without_one`, flow `an_authorization_server_named_with_a_trailing_slash_signs_in_through_its_origin_issuer`) all appear in the diff, and the diff does nothing significant the description omits. No description defect found. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `00bb929a2604`), so retrieved context may be out of date._

Walkthrough
Issuer matching now accepts a single trailing-slash difference for bare HTTP(S) origins. Tests cover metadata fetching and OAuth sign-in when protected-resource metadata advertises an origin with a trailing slash.
Metadata matching accepts equivalent bare HTTP(S) origins with or without one trailing slash. Tests cover non-default ports, rejected mismatches, and metadata fetching.
OAuth sign-in with slash-bearing origin crates/tinymcp/src/registry/oauth/mod_tests.rs
A loopback fixture advertises a slash-bearing origin in protected-resource metadata while authorization-server metadata uses the bare origin. The sign-in test checks registration, the authorization URL, and S256 PKCE.
OAuth sign-in can still fail when a provider splits required endpoints across metadata documents whose origin issuers differ only by a trailing slash. Align the merge check before merging.

Merge metadata for equivalent origin issuers.
If the RFC 8414 document omits an endpoint and the OpenID document supplies it, opposite trailing-slash forms pass the new issuer matcher but fail this equality check. fill_missing_metadata then discards the endpoint. OAuth sign-in can still fail because no complete authorization-server metadata reaches begin. Apply the same origin-only equivalence rule at this merge gate, while retaining exact matching for path-based issuers. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
