The Python SDK needs to implement progressive authorization flows that request additional scopes as needed during a session, support for WWW-Authenticate challenge-response patterns, and OIDC discovery endpoints to enable more granular permission management while maintaining the principle of least privilege.\n\n### Related Issues \u0026 PRs\n\n- **Implementation PRs**: [#1324](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/pull/1324)\n- **Related PRs**: [#1071](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/pull/1071), [#1061](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/pull/1061), [#991](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/pull/991)\n- **Related Issues**: [#686](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/issues/686), [#1307](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/issues/1307), [#1319](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/issues/1319)","author":{"url":"https://github.com/felixweinberger","@type":"Person","name":"felixweinberger"},"datePublished":"2025-10-30T11:45:52.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1536/python-sdk/issues/1536"}
