Research direction

Start with Client\Builder and the auth/* baseline scenarios, then inspect the src/Client/Auth/ area. Track the interface, TokenSet, both adapters, builder wiring, and unit tests against the listed operations and acceptance criteria; done when optional builder configuration and its documentation are covered.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

auth Client enhancement improves spec compliance

Context

Foundation for every OAuth flow on the client side. Without a storage abstraction we cannot persist access tokens, refresh tokens, registered client credentials, or PKCE verifiers across requests/sessions.

Scope

  • Define Mcp\Client\Auth\TokenStorageInterface with operations: getToken(string $resourceUrl): ?TokenSet, storeToken(string $resourceUrl, TokenSet $token): void, clearToken(string $resourceUrl): void, plus equivalents for registered client metadata.
  • Value object TokenSet (access_token, refresh_token, expires_at, scope, token_type).
  • Default implementations:
    • InMemoryTokenStorage (ephemeral, per-process).
    • Psr16TokenStorage adapter for PSR-16 CacheInterface.
  • Wire into Client\Builder::setTokenStorage(...) (optional; defaults to in-memory).

Conformance scenarios unblocked

Prerequisite for all auth/* baseline scenarios.

Dependencies

None — must land first.

Acceptance

  • Interface + value object + 2 storage adapters in src/Client/Auth/.
  • Unit tests for both adapters.
  • Builder method documented.
