Fast Focus - Introduction to Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers
summary
Explains that MCP adds an authorization spec that splits the API (resource server) from the token issuer (authorization server), and that protected MCP servers publish a protected resource metadata JSON blob clients use to discover where to get tokens. Shows a working demo using a scaffolded test OAuth server, a client that requests weather alerts, and the C# SDK sample from the model context protocol repo — the demo runs and returns alerts after successful token exchange.
