Provision mcp.14 · Model Context Protocol, Authorization (draft) · requirement

> MCP Servers SHOULD NOT include offline_access in WWW-Authenticate scope or Protected Resource Metadata scopes_supported.

The text is as taken from the source. **In the source:** [https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/basic/authorization#refresh-tokens](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/basic/authorization#refresh-tokens) (the section of the specification whose text holds the requirement (matched by its words); linked 2026-11-10). The instrument: [Model Context Protocol, Authorization (draft)](../../instruments/index.md), the project's; requirements quoted with the source; read 2026-11-09.

## Who cites it

| Indicator | The fact it asks for | Kind of link | The assertion |
|---|---|---|---|
| [`I23`](../../questions/index.md#I23) | What it can reach is enumerated: scopes, permissions, tools | part: partly evidenced | Asserted in the mapping by gamma-ray@web-summit.dinis; the written basis is not recorded yet. |

A link is our assertion, not the instrument's. "Same" carries the evidence to the provision in full. "Part" marks the provision as partly evidenced: the fact is one piece of what it asks. "Negation" points the other way.

Touched never means complies.

## Answer it directly

A company can answer this line item itself, in its own file at `/.well-known/fact-ray.json`, with the node `gamma-ray:provision/mcp.14` ([how](../../fact-ray/well-known/index.md)). A company that already assesses itself against MCP authorization can reuse that work.
