Responses
| Header | Type and limits | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cache-Control | JSON; {"const":"public, max-age=300"} | Private API responses prohibit storage. Public OAuth metadata is cached for 300 seconds; live streams additionally prohibit transformation. |
| Content-Language | string; {"enum":["en","de"]} | Language of human-readable response text, resolved from Accept-Language or the documented browser preference. Technical codes and identifiers remain stable. |
| Referrer-Policy | JSON; {"enum":["strict-origin-when-cross-origin","no-referrer"]} | The default referrer policy is strict-origin-when-cross-origin. Provider-login responses use no-referrer to protect login parameters. |
| Vary | string | Responses vary by Accept-Language; browser-rendered responses can also vary by the preference cookie. |
| X-Content-Type-Options | JSON; {"const":"nosniff"} | The browser must use the declared content type. |
| X-Frame-Options | JSON; {"const":"DENY"} | The response must not be embedded in a frame. |
| X-Request-ID | string | Server-generated request identifier. Include this when reporting an error; inbound values are not trusted. |

This operation reads or validates without applying a resource mutation. Respect rate limits and credential lifetime.
Request examples
Replace demo IDs, timestamps and placeholders with your own values. For a retry, keep the same IDs, time and content. These examples do not run requests on this page.
Keep login links, codes, cookies and keys private. Do not print them in logs or share them in support requests.

Discover the OAuth resource and supported permissions for the catalog MCP endpoint. Catalog connections never grant keys:write.
- DELETE MCP transport method: DELETE
The canonical stateless SDK transport validates an OAuth or machine MCP token on every request. GET with an SSE Accept header returns 405. DELETE requires a nonempty Mcp-Session-Id header and acknowledges transport closure with 204, without revoking the token. POST uses JSON responses and accepts the MCP initialization, notification and tool methods.
