+### Zero-Config OAuth with Resource Auto-Detection (RFC 8707/9728)
+
+MCPProxy automatically detects and injects the RFC 8707 `resource` parameter for OAuth providers like Runlayer. This enables zero-configuration OAuth for servers advertising Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728).
+
+**How it works**:
+1. MCPProxy sends a preflight HEAD request to the MCP server URL
+2. If server returns 401 with `WWW-Authenticate` header containing `resource_metadata` URL, MCPProxy fetches the Protected Resource Metadata
+3. The `resource` field from metadata is automatically injected into OAuth authorization URL and token requests
+4. If metadata doesn't contain `resource`, MCPProxy falls back to using the server URL
+
+**Zero-Config Example (Runlayer)**:
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": [
+    {
+      "name": "runlayer-slack",
+      "url": "https://oauth.runlayer.com/api/v1/proxy/abc123def/mcp",
+      "protocol": "http",
+      "enabled": true
+      // No OAuth config needed! Resource parameter auto-detected from metadata
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Priority Order for Resource Parameter**:
+1. Manual `extra_params.resource` in config (highest priority - preserves backward compatibility)
+2. Auto-detected resource from RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata
+3. Fallback to server URL if metadata unavailable or lacks resource field
+
+**Diagnostic Commands**:
+```bash
+# View auto-detected resource parameter
+mcpproxy auth status --server=runlayer-slack
+
+# Check for OAuth issues including resource detection
+mcpproxy doctor
+```
+
 ### OAuth Extra Parameters Configuration
 
-MCPProxy supports arbitrary OAuth 2.0/2.1 extra parameters via the `extra_params` field in OAuth configuration. This enables integration with OAuth providers requiring non-standard parameters like RFC 8707 resource indicators.
+MCPProxy also supports manual `extra_params` for OAuth providers requiring non-standard parameters. Manual params override auto-detected values.
 
 **Use Cases**:
-- **RFC 8707 Resource Indicators**: Specify target resource servers for multi-tenant authorization
+- **RFC 8707 Resource Indicators**: Override auto-detected resource for multi-tenant authorization
 - **Audience-Restricted Tokens**: Request tokens for specific API audiences
 - **Tenant Identification**: Pass tenant/organization identifiers for multi-tenant OAuth

-> **Note**: The `"oauth"` configuration is **optional**. MCPProxy will automatically detect when OAuth is required and use sensible defaults in most cases. You only need to specify OAuth settings if you want to customize scopes or have pre-registered client credentials.
+#### Zero-Config OAuth (Recommended)
 
-```jsonc
+For most OAuth servers (including Runlayer, Cloudflare, etc.), **no OAuth configuration is needed**. MCPProxy automatically:
+- Detects OAuth requirements via 401 responses
+- Discovers Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728)
+- Injects the RFC 8707 `resource` parameter automatically
+
+```json
 {
   "mcpServers": [
+    {
+      "name": "runlayer-slack",
+      "url": "https://oauth.runlayer.com/api/v1/proxy/YOUR-UUID/mcp"
+    },
     {
       "name": "cloudflare_autorag",
       "url": "https://autorag.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp",

-      "enabled": true,
+      "protocol": "streamable-http"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+That's it - **no `oauth` block needed**. MCPProxy handles everything automatically.
+
+#### Explicit OAuth Configuration
+
+Use explicit configuration when you need to:
+- Customize OAuth scopes
+- Override auto-detected parameters
+- Use pre-registered client credentials
+- Support providers with non-standard requirements
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": [
+    {
+      "name": "github-enterprise",
+      "url": "https://github.example.com/mcp",
+      "protocol": "http",
       "oauth": {
-        "scopes": ["mcp.read", "mcp.write"],
-        "pkce_enabled": true
+        "scopes": ["repo", "user:email", "read:org"],
+        "pkce_enabled": true,
+        "client_id": "your-registered-client-id",
+        "extra_params": {
+          "resource": "https://api.github.example.com",
+          "audience": "github-enterprise-api"
+        }
       }
     }
   ]
 }
 ```
 
 **OAuth Configuration Options** (all optional):
-- `scopes`: OAuth scopes to request (default: `["mcp.read", "mcp.write"]`)
+- `scopes`: OAuth scopes to request (auto-discovered if not specified)
 - `pkce_enabled`: Enable PKCE for security (default: `true`, recommended)
-- `client_id`: Pre-registered client ID (optional, uses Dynamic Client Registration if empty)
+- `client_id`: Pre-registered client ID (uses Dynamic Client Registration if empty)
 - `client_secret`: Client secret (optional, for confidential clients)
+- `extra_params`: Additional OAuth parameters (override auto-detected values)

+
+**Date**: 2025-12-10
+**PR**: https://github.com/smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go/pull/188
+**Reviewer**: Claude Code
+
+## Overview
+
+This PR implements automatic detection of the RFC 8707 `resource` parameter from RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata, enabling zero-configuration OAuth for providers like Runlayer/AnySource. This is a well-structured feature addition that improves user experience by eliminating manual `extra_params` configuration.
+

+

+
+## Positives
+
+### 1. Clean API Design
+The new `CreateOAuthConfigWithExtraParams()` function returns both the config and extraParams, enabling the connection layer to inject params into the authorization URL. The backward-compatible `CreateOAuthConfig()` is preserved for existing callers.
+
+### 2. Proper Priority Order
+```go
+// Resource auto-detection logic (in priority order):
+// 1. Manual extra_params.resource from config (highest priority)
+// 2. Auto-detected resource from RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata
+// 3. Fallback to server URL if metadata unavailable
+```
+
+This correctly preserves backward compatibility - manual overrides always win.
+
+### 3. Excellent Test Coverage
+- Unit tests for `DiscoverProtectedResourceMetadata()` with error cases
+- Unit tests for resource auto-detection and manual override
+- E2E test validating full metadata discovery flow
+- Tests for parameter merging behavior
+
+### 4. Good Documentation
+- CLAUDE.md updated with clear explanation and examples
+- Inline code comments explain RFC references
+- Diagnostic commands documented for troubleshooting
+
+---
+
+## Issues and Suggestions
+
+### 1. **Network Request in Config Creation** (Medium Risk) - FIXED
+
+```go:internal/oauth/config.go
+func autoDetectResource(serverConfig *config.ServerConfig, logger *zap.Logger) string {
+    resp, err := http.Post(serverConfig.URL, "application/json", strings.NewReader("{}"))
+```
+
+**Concern**: The `CreateOAuthConfigWithExtraParams()` function makes a synchronous HTTP POST request during config creation. This can cause:
+- Slowdown during startup if the server is slow/unreachable
+- Potential timeout issues affecting connection initialization
+- No timeout specified on the `http.Post` call
+
+**Fix**: Added 5-second timeout to preflight request client.
+
+### 2. **Fallback Logic Inconsistency** (Low Risk) - FIXED
+
+In `autoDetectResource()`:
+- On network error: returns `serverConfig.URL` (fallback)
+- On non-401 response: returns `""` (no resource)
+- On 401 without metadata URL: returns `serverConfig.URL` (fallback)
+
+The non-401 case returning empty string seems correct (server doesn't require OAuth), but the behavior isn't immediately obvious from the code.
+
+**Fix**: Added clarifying comment explaining why non-401 returns empty.
+
+### 3. **Unused Variable in E2E Test** - FIXED
+
+```go:internal/server/e2e_oauth_zero_config_test.go
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
+defer cancel()
+```
+
+The `ctx` variable is created but never passed to the discovery function.
+
+**Fix**: Removed unused context variable and related check.
+
+### 4. **Minor: Unused import check** - FIXED
+
+```go:internal/server/e2e_oauth_zero_config_test.go
+// compile-time check to silence unused import warning
+var _ = zap.NewNop
+```
+
+**Fix**: Removed unused zap import and dummy reference.
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+**Positive**: The implementation correctly:
+- Respects manual configuration over auto-detected values
+- Masks sensitive params in logs (existing `maskExtraParams` function)
+- Uses standard HTTP methods for discovery
+
+**Note**: The POST request with empty body `{}` to detect 401 is per MCP spec. Consider documenting this as it might appear suspicious in network logs.
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+The preflight POST request adds latency to connection establishment. For servers that don't advertise RFC 9728 metadata, this is overhead with no benefit. Consider:
+- Caching metadata discovery results
+- Making discovery async (non-blocking)
+
+However, this is likely acceptable for v1 since it only happens during initial connection.
+
+---
+
+## Verdict
+
+**Approved with minor fixes applied.**
+
+This is a well-implemented feature with good test coverage and documentation. The code follows project conventions and the API design is clean.
+
+### Fixes Applied:
+1. Added timeout to `http.Post` call in `autoDetectResource()`
+2. Added clarifying comment for non-401 return behavior
+3. Removed unused `ctx` variable in E2E test
+4. Removed unused zap import workaround in E2E test
