Cause (Documented platform behavior): The client accepts only an exact (normalized, case-insensitive) match with the endpoint URI or the authority-only base URL, per the spec's canonical server URI rules; a missing resource also fails.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- OAuth fails before authorization with the mismatch naming both URIs (e.g. resource https://api.example.com/v1 vs endpoint https://api.example.com/mcp).
- Context
- Product: MCP C# SDK (ModelContextProtocol client) Component: ClientOAuthProvider protected resource metadata validation Operation: connecting with OAuth to a remote server Affected versions: C# SDK main c40ee04 (VersionPrefix 2.2.0) Environment: unknown Exception: ModelContextProtocol.McpException Packages: ModelContextProtocol main (VersionPrefix 2.2.0) Trigger: Server's protected-resource metadata resource is a different path, host, or scheme than the configured MCP endpoint.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [MCP C# SDK client OAuth] 'Resource URI in metadata (...) does not match the expected URI (...)' — PRM resource must equal the endpoint URL or its bare origin
Recommended action: Make the server publish resource equal to the exact MCP endpoint URL (or scheme://host[:port]); configure the client with that same URL.
Option: Align PRM resource [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See trigger
Steps:
1. Set PRM "resource" to the MCP endpoint URL or its origin
2. Avoid proxies rewriting host/path
Expected: Error no longer occurs
