# Objective Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/63363 The OAuth DCR flow would register an OAuth app with default (unset) `scope`. This was incompatible with some MCP servers, including GitLab's Orbit MCP server, which require OAuth scope(s) that are not part of the default assigned to DCR apps. ## Solution The OAuth DCR request now registers with the same set of `scope` selected for the entire flow, matching the authorization prompt used later. If the server advertises/requests no particular scopes for authentication, this field is elided to request a default set of scopes decided by the server. ## Testing - Successfully logged in via OAuth to the GitLab.com Orbit MCP server ([ref](https://docs.gitlab.com/orbit/remote/access/mcp/#connect-your-mcp-client)) and MCP server ([ref](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/model_context_protocol/mcp_server/#connect-a-client-to-the-gitlab-mcp-server)) on Linux - Unit tests confirm `scopes` are preserved in the DCR request body ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable --- Release Notes: - Fixed OAuth authentication failure with MCP servers that require non-default scopes to access MCP endpoints Signed-off-by: Jonathon Anderson <anderson.jonathonm@gmail.com>
