Created @instrument_tool decorator for automatic MCP tool metrics collection.
Applied to all 7 tools in notes.py.
Changes:
- observability/metrics.py:
* New instrument_tool() decorator for automatic timing and error tracking
* Compatible with @mcp.tool() and @require_scopes() decorators
* Records tool_name, duration, and success/error status
- server/notes.py:
* Applied @instrument_tool to all 7 tool functions
* nc_notes_create_note, nc_notes_update_note, nc_notes_append_content
* nc_notes_search_notes, nc_notes_get_note, nc_notes_get_attachment
* nc_notes_delete_note
These metrics will populate the MCP Tool Calls dashboard panels.
Part of PR #295 - Complete metrics instrumentation (Phase 5)
Remaining: 86 tools across 8 server files
Wire up RFC 8693 token exchange throughout the MCP server to support
stateless per-request token conversion for external IdP scenarios.
Changes:
Authentication Flow:
- Add exchange_token_for_audience() for pure RFC 8693 exchange
- Update context_helper to use stateless token exchange
- Remove fallback to standard OAuth on exchange failure
- Make storage initialization lazy (only for delegation, not MCP tools)
Application Configuration:
- Add ENABLE_TOKEN_EXCHANGE environment variable support
- Skip provisioning tools when token exchange enabled
- Pass mcp_client_id to token broker for proper validation
- Update docker-compose.yml with token exchange config
Token Exchange Service:
- Add TOKEN_EXCHANGE_GRANT constant
- Implement exchange_token_for_audience() method
- Support both "mcp-server" and client_id audiences
- Lazy storage initialization for delegation scenarios
- Enhanced error handling and logging
Progressive Token Verifier:
- Add mcp_client_id parameter for external IdP validation
- Accept both "mcp-server" and configured client_id
- Support external IdP token verification
Key Behavior Changes:
- When ENABLE_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=true: Each MCP tool call triggers
stateless token exchange (client token → Nextcloud token)
- When ENABLE_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=false: Uses pass-through mode
(validates Flow 1 token and passes to Nextcloud)
- No provisioning tools registered in exchange mode
- No refresh tokens needed for request-time operations
This completes the token exchange implementation. The MCP server now
supports both pass-through (default) and exchange (opt-in) modes for
federated authentication architectures.

Resolves the token exchange implementation gap where get_session_client()
was implemented but never used by tools. Unifies token acquisition into a
single async get_client() method that handles both pass-through and token
exchange modes transparently.
Core Changes:
- Make get_client() async and merge token exchange logic into it
- Remove scopes parameter from token exchange (Nextcloud doesn't support OAuth scopes)
- Update all 8 tool modules to use await get_client(ctx)
- Fix provisioning decorator to skip checks in BasicAuth mode
Token Acquisition Modes:
1. BasicAuth: Returns shared client (no token operations)
2. OAuth pass-through (default): Verifies and passes Flow 1 token to Nextcloud
3. OAuth token exchange (opt-in): Exchanges Flow 1 token for ephemeral token via RFC 8693
Key Architectural Clarifications:
- Progressive Consent (Flow 1/2) = Authorization architecture
- Token Exchange = Token acquisition pattern during tool execution
- Refresh tokens from Flow 2 are NEVER used for tool calls (only background jobs)
- Nextcloud scopes are "soft-scopes" enforced by MCP server, not IdP
Documentation Updates:
- ADR-004: Added comprehensive token acquisition patterns section
- CRITICAL-TOKEN-EXCHANGE-PATTERN.md: Updated to reflect implementation status
- CLAUDE.md: Updated architectural patterns with async get_client()
Testing:
- All 36 unit tests passing
- All 4 smoke tests passing (BasicAuth mode)
- Linting issues fixed (ruff)
Configuration:
ENABLE_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=false (default) - pass-through mode
ENABLE_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=true (opt-in) - token exchange mode

Implements Progressive Consent architecture with dual OAuth flows:
- Flow 1: Direct client authentication (aud: "mcp-server")
- Flow 2: Resource provisioning with refresh tokens
Components added:
- Client registry with validation (client_registry.py)
- Progressive token verifier (progressive_token_verifier.py)
- Token broker service integration
- Provisioning decorator for MCP tools
- OAuth provisioning tools (provision_nextcloud_access, etc.)
Configuration:
- Progressive Consent enabled by default (ENABLE_PROGRESSIVE_CONSENT=true)
- Client validation with pre-registered clients
- Audience separation framework
KNOWN ISSUE - Token Exchange Pattern Incorrect:
The current implementation does NOT properly implement token exchange.
MCP session tokens should be EXCHANGED for delegated Nextcloud tokens
during tool calls, not stored/reused. Critical corrections needed:
1. Session tokens: Flow 1 token → exchange → ephemeral Nextcloud token
- Generated on-demand per tool call
- Short-lived, not stored
- Scopes limited to tool requirements
2. Background tokens: Flow 2 refresh token → background Nextcloud token
- Only for offline/background jobs
- Potentially different scopes than session tokens
- Must NOT be used for MCP session tool calls
The token exchange mechanism needs to be implemented to properly
separate session-time delegation from background job authorization.
