OAuth providers apply the same rule. The client's own follow_redirects setting is ignored. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Setting follow_redirects=True on a custom httpx client — the SDK does not consult it. Other error fragments: - not followed) - Token exchange failed ( Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/f1b6589088534632fef92238ee9750951e3c0185/src/mcp/shared/_httpx_utils.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): stream_within_origin follows only same-origin, same-method redirects up to max_redirects; redirect_note appends " (redirected to X; not followed)"; follow_redirects setting not consulted. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/f1b6589088534632fef92238ee9750951e3c0185/src/mcp/client/auth/oauth2.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): Token exchange error format 'Token exchange failed ({status}){redirect_note}: {body}'.
