Cause (Documented platform behavior): rmcp sets require_issuer from the metadata flag and raises AuthorizationServerMissingIssuer when the callback iss is absent; the server is non-compliant with its own advertised RFC 9207 support.
Fix status: workaround_only
Misleading approaches:
- Re-running login or clearing Codex credentials
Limitations:
- Code-level mechanism read from rmcp main; the agent-native server fix status not confirmed
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://github.com/BuilderIO/agent-native/issues/2616 (github_issue, 2026-08, reported_symptom): Codex 0.144.5 fails MCP login with 'Authorization server response missing required issuer' because the AS advertises RFC 9207 support but the callback lacks iss; fix is to append iss to the redirect.
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/main/crates/rmcp/src/transport/auth.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): rmcp derives require_issuer from metadata authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported (default false) and returns AuthorizationServerMissingIssuer when no callback iss is supplied and require_issuer is set.

- Login aborts after browser consent.
- Context
- Product: Codex CLI (rmcp OAuth client) and other rmcp-based MCP clients Component: rmcp AuthorizationManager RFC 9207 validation Operation: MCP OAuth login; loopback callback receives code and state without iss Affected versions: Codex 0.144.5 reported Environment: Any; loopback callback http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback Exception: AuthError::AuthorizationServerMissingIssuer Packages: rmcp releases with SEP-2468 support Trigger: Authorization server metadata sets authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported: true but the authorization response redirect carries only code and state.

Proposed fix: [Codex / rmcp-based MCP clients] 'Authorization server response missing required issuer: expected <issuer>' — AS metadata advertises authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported but th
Recommended action: Server side: append iss=<issuer> to the authorization response redirect whenever metadata advertises authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported, or stop advertising the flag.
Option: Emit iss on the authorization redirect (or drop the metadata flag) [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: MCP authorization servers advertising RFC 9207
Steps:
1. Add iss=<exact metadata issuer> to the redirect alongside code and state
2. Or remove authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported from AS metadata
Expected: rmcp clients accept the callback
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
