The MCP server may not support dynamic client registration or the registration failed.' ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): Cursor relies on dynamic client registration unless client info is supplied; the MCP server config type allows auth: { CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, scopes } for pre-registered clients. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source is the minified dist bundle of @cursor/sdk 1.0.32 on npm (Cursor has no public source repo); the same runtime is presumed shared with the Cursor agent CLI/IDE but that is not verified. - Not reproduced in this session. Other error fragments: - Incompatible auth server: does not support dynamic client registration Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://registry.npmjs.org/@cursor/sdk/-/sdk-1.0.32.tgz#package/dist/esm/34.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Callback handler throws the quoted error if no client information exists; MCP SDK code in the bundle throws "Incompatible auth server: does not support dynamic client registration". - https://registry.npmjs.org/@cursor/sdk/-/sdk-1.0.32.tgz#package/dist/esm/360.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Bundled MCP SDK OAuth client code throws "Incompatible auth server: does not support dynamic client registration" when no registration endpoint exists. - https://registry.npmjs.org/@cursor/sdk/-/sdk-1.0.32.tgz#package/dist/esm/agent/options.d.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): McpServerConfig for http/sse accepts auth: { CLIENT_ID; CLIENT_SECRET?; scopes? }.
