Replace two non-compliant token verifiers (NextcloudTokenVerifier and
ProgressiveConsentTokenVerifier) with a single UnifiedTokenVerifier that properly
validates token audiences per MCP Security Best Practices specification.
The previous implementation had a critical security vulnerability where tokens
intended for the MCP server were passed directly to Nextcloud APIs without
proper audience validation (token passthrough anti-pattern). This violates
OAuth 2.0 security principles and the MCP specification.
Changes:
- Add UnifiedTokenVerifier supporting two compliant modes:
* Multi-audience mode (default): Validates tokens contain BOTH MCP and
Nextcloud audiences, enabling direct use without exchange
* Token exchange mode (opt-in): Validates MCP audience only, exchanges
for Nextcloud tokens via RFC 8693 with caching to minimize latency
- Remove token passthrough vulnerability from context.py and context_helper.py
- Implement token exchange caching (5-minute TTL default) to reduce network calls
- Add required environment variables for audience validation:
* NEXTCLOUD_MCP_SERVER_URL - MCP server URL (used as audience)
* NEXTCLOUD_RESOURCE_URI - Nextcloud resource identifier
* TOKEN_EXCHANGE_CACHE_TTL - Cache TTL for exchanged tokens
- Update docker-compose.yml with resource URI configuration for both OAuth modes
- Add comprehensive test suite (29 tests) covering both authentication modes
- Remove legacy NextcloudTokenVerifier and ProgressiveConsentTokenVerifier
Security improvements:
- Eliminates token passthrough anti-pattern
- Enforces proper audience separation between MCP and Nextcloud
- Complies with MCP Security Best Practices and RFC 8707/8693
- Maintains performance with token exchange caching

Fix three tests in test_token_exchange.py that were using invalid
Fernet encryption keys (b"test-key-" + b"0" * 32), causing ValueError
due to invalid base64 encoding.
Root cause:
- Tests manually created invalid Fernet keys
- token_storage and token_broker fixtures generated different keys
- Encryption/decryption operations failed due to key mismatch
Solution:
- Expose valid encryption key from token_storage fixture via _test_encryption_key
- Update token_broker fixture to use same encryption key from token_storage
- Update all tests to use token_storage._test_encryption_key
Tests fixed:
- test_get_background_token
- test_session_background_separation
- test_background_token_different_scopes
All 13 tests in test_token_exchange.py now pass.

Remove test_userinfo_integration.py which incorrectly expected Bearer token
authentication to work with /user and /user/page endpoints.
Root cause:
- /user* endpoints are designed for browser-based session authentication
- SessionAuthBackend only accepts session cookies, not Bearer tokens
- Tests were passing Authorization: Bearer headers which cannot work
The /user* endpoints are part of the browser admin UI and require:
1. Login via /oauth/login to establish session cookie
2. Session cookie in subsequent requests to /user or /user/page
Browser-based integration tests using Playwright (if needed) should test
the full OAuth login flow with session cookies, not direct Bearer token access.
Tests removed: 13 tests (all using Bearer tokens incorrectly)
Remaining OAuth tests: 77 tests still passing

Add @require_scopes("openid") decorator to OAuth backend tools
(provision_nextcloud_access, revoke_nextcloud_access, check_provisioning_status)
to ensure they're only visible to authenticated OIDC users.
Design rationale:
- OAuth provisioning tools are "meta-tools" that manage authentication itself
- They don't access Nextcloud resources, so don't need resource scopes
- Requiring 'openid' ensures user is authenticated via OIDC
- Enables Progressive Consent: users authenticate first, then provision access
- Aligns with dual OAuth flow architecture (Flow 1 + Flow 2)
Changes:
- Add @require_scopes("openid") to all three OAuth provisioning tools
- Update test expectations: users with only OIDC default scopes
see OAuth provisioning tools but not resource tools
- All tests pass (13/13 in test_scope_authorization.py)

The test_mcp_oauth_server_connection test was failing because OAuth tokens
had the wrong audience claim. The MCP server's progressive_token_verifier
expects tokens with audience matching its OAuth client ID, but tokens were
being issued with Nextcloud's default resource server audience.
Changes:
1. Test fixtures (tests/conftest.py):
- Add get_mcp_server_resource_metadata() helper to fetch PRM metadata
- Update playwright_oauth_token to include resource parameter in auth requests
- Update _get_oauth_token_with_scopes to support optional resource parameter
- Automatically fetch resource ID from MCP server's PRM endpoint
2. MCP Server (nextcloud_mcp_server/app.py):
- Fix Protected Resource Metadata endpoint to return OAuth client ID
- Change "resource" field from URL to client ID for proper audience validation
- Ensures tokens obtained with resource parameter have correct audience claim
How it works:
1. Test fetches /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource from MCP server
2. Extracts resource field (MCP server's client ID)
3. Includes &resource=<client-id> in OAuth authorization request (RFC 8707)
4. Nextcloud OIDC issues tokens with aud: [<client-id>]
5. MCP server's progressive_token_verifier accepts tokens (audience matches)
Fixes OAuth test failures:
- test_mcp_oauth_server_connection
- test_mcp_oauth_tool_execution

- Fixes 404 errors when querying user profile
2. Refresh token rotation:
- Update stored refresh tokens after successful refresh
- Fixes "Could not find access token for code or refresh_token" errors
- Enables persistent sessions across page refreshes

Implements /user and /user/page endpoints for displaying authenticated
user information in both BasicAuth and OAuth modes.
Key Features:
- Separate browser OAuth flow (/oauth/login, /oauth/login-callback, /oauth/logout)
- Session-based authentication using signed cookies
- Token refresh for persistent sessions
- HTML and JSON user info endpoints
- IdP profile information retrieval
Architecture:
- BasicAuth mode: Always authenticated as configured user
- OAuth mode: Browser-based authorization code flow with refresh tokens
- Session stored in SQLite with encrypted refresh tokens
- Server-side token refresh using internal Docker hostnames
OAuth Flow:
- /oauth/login: Initiates browser OAuth flow
- /oauth/login-callback: Handles IdP callback and stores refresh token
- /oauth/logout: Clears session cookie
- /user: JSON API endpoint (requires authentication)
- /user/page: HTML page endpoint (requires authentication)
DCR Scopes Fix:
- MCP server DCR now only requests basic OIDC scopes (openid profile email offline_access)
- Nextcloud app scopes (notes:read, etc.) are for MCP clients, not the server itself
- PRM endpoint dynamically advertises supported scopes from tool decorators

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

- MCP provisioning tools for explicit Flow 2 resource authorization
- Comprehensive unit tests for Token Broker Service (14 tests, all passing)
- Environment configuration for Progressive Consent mode
This implements the foundation for the dual OAuth flow architecture where:
- Flow 1: MCP clients authenticate to MCP server (aud: "mcp-server")
- Flow 2: MCP server gets delegated Nextcloud access (aud: "nextcloud")
Users must explicitly call provision_nextcloud_access tool to grant resource access,
implementing the "stateless by default" principle from ADR-004.

This commit implements and documents both RFC 8693 token exchange tiers
from ADR-002, enabling both production-ready delegation and advanced
impersonation capabilities.
- Enable Keycloak preview features (`--features=preview`) to support
both Standard V2 and Legacy V1 token exchange modes
- Update Tier 1 status from "NOT IMPLEMENTED" to "IMPLEMENTED (Legacy V1)"
- Add detailed empirical testing results showing:
- Standard V2 rejects `requested_subject` parameter
- Legacy V1 accepts parameter but requires impersonation permissions
- Complete configuration steps for enabling impersonation
- Add comparison table showing when to use each tier
- Add "When to Use" guidance for both tiers
- Document that Tier 2 (Delegation) is the recommended default
- Update docstring to document both Tier 1 and Tier 2 support
- Add tier-specific logging (shows which tier is being used)
- Document permission requirements for Tier 1 impersonation
**tests/integration/auth/test_token_exchange_standard_v2.py**:
- Test delegation without impersonation (Tier 2)
- Verify sub claim remains unchanged (service account identity)
- Verify no special permissions required
- Test exchanged tokens work with Nextcloud APIs
- All tests PASS ✅
**tests/integration/auth/test_token_exchange_legacy_v1.py**:
- Test impersonation with `requested_subject` (Tier 1)
- Verify sub claim changes to target user

Service account tokens (client_credentials grant) violate OAuth "act on-behalf-of"
principles and have been moved to ADR-002's "Will Not Implement" section.
## Problem Discovery
Testing revealed that service account tokens create Nextcloud user accounts
(e.g., `service-account-nextcloud-mcp-server`) due to user_oidc's bearer
provisioning feature. This violates core OAuth principles:
- ❌ Creates stateful server identity in Nextcloud
- ❌ All actions attributed to service account, not real user
- ❌ Breaks audit trail and user attribution
- ❌ Service account becomes "admin by another name"
## Changes
### Documentation (ADR-002)
- Moved service account (old Tier 1) to "Will Not Implement" section
- Added "OAuth Act On-Behalf-Of Principle" section
- Renumbered tiers:
- Tier 1: Impersonation (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
- Tier 2: Delegation via token exchange (IMPLEMENTED)
- Updated status to reflect rejection of service accounts
### Code Warnings
- Added comprehensive warning to KeycloakOAuthClient.get_service_account_token()
- Clarified VALID use: only as subject_token for RFC 8693 token exchange
- Clarified INVALID use: direct API access with service account token
### Supporting Documentation
- CLAUDE.md: Removed outdated "Tier 1" references, added rejection note
- oauth-impersonation-findings.md: Added prominent update banner
- audience-validation-setup.md: Updated tier numbers, added rejection note
- tests/manual/test_token_exchange.py: Added warning comment
## Valid Patterns (ADR-002)
✅ Foreground operations: User's access token from MCP request
✅ Background operations: Token exchange (impersonation/delegation)
✅ Offline access: Refresh tokens with user consent
❌ Service accounts: Creates independent server identity (REJECTED)
## Alternative
If service account pattern is truly needed, use BasicAuth mode instead of
OAuth mode. OAuth mode MUST maintain "act on-behalf-of" semantics.

Add comprehensive automated integration test for Keycloak service account
token acquisition via client_credentials grant, validating ADR-002 Tier 1
implementation for external IdP mode.
Changes:
- Add keycloak_oauth_client fixture in tests/conftest.py
- Creates KeycloakOAuthClient instance for service account operations
- Session-scoped fixture with automatic cleanup
- Discovers Keycloak endpoints automatically
- Add test_keycloak_service_account_token_acquisition test
- Tests client_credentials grant token acquisition
- Verifies token response structure (access_token, token_type, expires_in)
- Validates token works with Nextcloud APIs via capabilities endpoint
- Documents limitation for Nextcloud OIDC app (integrated mode)
- Update ADR-002 documentation
- Mark automated test as complete (✅)
- Document supported providers (Keycloak ✅, Nextcloud OIDC app ❌)
- Add note that KeycloakOAuthClient is provider-agnostic
- Clarify that Nextcloud OIDC app support requires config only
Test results:
- ✅ Service account token acquired successfully (300s expiry, Bearer type)
- ✅ Token validated by Nextcloud user_oidc app
- ✅ Token works with Nextcloud capabilities API
Note: Nextcloud OIDC app (integrated mode) service account token support
not yet implemented. See app.py:631-635 for current status.

Nextcloud OIDC app" from ADR-002
Remove the NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_STORAGE environment variable from all
configuration files. OAuth client credentials are now always stored in the
SQLite database, with no option to use a custom JSON file path.
Changes:
- Remove NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_STORAGE from .env.keycloak.sample
- Remove NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_STORAGE from docker-compose.yml (mcp-oauth and mcp-keycloak services)
- Remove NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_STORAGE from Helm deployment template
- Remove NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_STORAGE from test_cli.py test assertions
- Remove --headed flag from pytest addopts (use CLI arg instead)
This simplifies configuration by enforcing a single storage mechanism
(SQLite database) for OAuth client credentials.

This enhances the Keycloak integration test suite with comprehensive
scope-based authorization validation, matching the OIDC test structure.
Changes:
- Add 3 test users to Keycloak realm (read-only, write-only, no-custom-scopes)
- Create OAuth token fixtures with different scope combinations
- Create MCP client fixtures for each scope configuration
- Add 4 new tests validating scope-based tool filtering:
* Read-only tokens filter out write tools
* Write-only tokens filter out read tools
* Full access tokens show all 90+ tools
* No custom scopes result in zero tools
Test Results:
- All 15 Keycloak integration tests pass (11 existing + 4 new)
- Validates proper JWT scope enforcement in external IdP architecture
- Confirms security isolation when users decline custom scopes
This completes ADR-002 scope authorization testing for the Keycloak
external identity provider integration.

- Changed from "JWT" → "jwt" for JWT tokens
Updated test_dcr_token_type.py to use lowercase token_type values:
- token_type="jwt" for JWT-formatted tokens
- token_type="opaque" for opaque/bearer tokens
This fixes test failures where tests were using the old "Bearer" and
"JWT" (uppercase) values which are no longer recognized by the OIDC app.

Remove file-based caching of OAuth client credentials and implement automatic
client lifecycle management for test fixtures.
Changes:
- Add RFC 7592 client deletion function in auth/client_registration.py
- Remove cache_file parameter from _create_oauth_client_with_scopes helper
- Update all OAuth credential fixtures to use yield/finalizer pattern
- Add automatic client cleanup at end of test session (best-effort)
- Remove persistent .nextcloud_oauth_*.json cache files
Benefits:
- No persistent cache files cluttering repository
- Fresh OAuth clients created for each test session via DCR
- Automatic cleanup attempts (RFC 7592 DELETE endpoint)
- Cleaner test environment with proper fixture lifecycle
Note: Client deletion may fail due to Nextcloud authentication middleware
(logged as warning). The key improvement is removing persistent cache files.
OAuth clients may accumulate in Nextcloud but can be cleaned manually.
The shared_oauth_client_credentials fixture was using Dynamic Client
Registration which doesn't support Nextcloud's allowed_scopes parameter.
This caused tokens to lack proper scope configuration, resulting in empty
tool lists when the server validated scopes.
Changes:
1. Updated shared_oauth_client_credentials to use occ oidc:create with
allowed_scopes="openid profile email nc:read nc:write"
2. Created opaque token client (not JWT) for port 8001 compatibility
3. Enhanced _create_oauth_client_with_scopes to support both JWT and
opaque token types via token_type parameter
This ensures:
- Regular OAuth tests (port 8001) get opaque tokens with proper scopes
- JWT OAuth tests (port 8002) get JWT tokens with embedded scopes
- Both token types have allowed_scopes configured on the OAuth client
