Announcing CIMD Support for MCP Clients

Scalekit MCP Auth now supports Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD).

As MCP adoption grows, MCP servers increasingly need to accept clients that are not pre-registered ahead of time. CIMD provides a way for MCP clients to identify themselves using a metadata URL as the client_id, instead of relying on manual registration or Dynamic Client Registration (DCR).

When a CIMD-compatible MCP client initiates authentication, Scalekit fetches and validates the client metadata from the provided HTTPS URL and uses it to complete the OAuth flow.

Scalekit will continue to support Dynamic Client Registration and manual client registration for MCP clients that do not implement CIMD.
