fix: serve RFC 9728 path-suffixed metadata, document connector redirect URIs
Two separate discovery footguns, both found while debugging an Authentik "Redirect URI Error" on a claude.ai custom connector. RFC 9728 §3.1 puts the metadata for a resource identified by `https://host/api/mcp` at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/api/mcp`. Only the root form was served, so clients that derive the metadata URL from the MCP endpoint URL — rather than reading `resource_metadata` off our 401 — got Next.js's HTML 404 and failed discovery with a JSON parse error. Add a `[...path]` route serving the same document with `resource` naming the suffixed identifier (§3.3 has the client compare it as an exact string, so echoing the bare origin would be rejected). The document body moves to `lib/auth/resource-metadata.ts` so the two routes cannot drift apart on `scopes_supported` — a divergence there costs you the `aud` claim or the refresh token. Paths are allowlisted rather than wildcarded so this cannot advertise resources the app does not serve. `buildWwwAuthenticate()` still points at the root URL; this change is purely additive. Separately, the redirect URIs an MCP provider needs depend on how clients reach it: a loopback URI for the CLI, `https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback` for a claude.ai custom connector. Registering only the former is what produces the "Redirect URI Error" page, and a portless `http://localhost/callback` entry matches nothing the CLI sends. Document both, keyed on the literal error text, and note that DCR is enterprise-gated on Authentik so these are hand-registered on a FOSS instance.

#### Which redirect URIs to register
|
||||
|
||||
The MCP provider is reached by clients of two different shapes — one running on
|
||||
your machine, one running inside claude.ai — and they come back from the IdP at
|
||||
**different** redirect URIs. Register every one you intend to use, before the
|
||||
first connection attempt:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Claude Code CLI, including this repo's plugin** — the CLI catches the
|
||||
callback on a loopback listener, so the URI is
|
||||
`http://localhost:<port>/callback`, where `<port>` is whatever
|
||||
`--callback-port` (or the plugin's `callbackPort`) is set to. Set the entry's
|
||||
matching mode to **Regex** so any port works without re-registering:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
http://(localhost|127\.0\.0\.1):[0-9]+/.*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The port is not optional.** Authentik rejects a portless
|
||||
`http://localhost/callback`, so an entry copied from the Entra ID walkthrough
|
||||
— where the port component is ignored on purpose, see
|
||||
[docs/oidc-entra-id.md](docs/oidc-entra-id.md) — matches nothing the CLI ever
|
||||
sends.
|
||||
|
||||
- **A claude.ai custom connector** — the server added through claude.ai's web
|
||||
UI rather than installed locally. claude.ai brokers the OAuth flow, so the
|
||||
browser never returns to your machine and the loopback entries above are
|
||||
irrelevant. Register the exact string:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **The manual-paste fallback** (*C. Manual-paste fallback* below) — that
|
||||
callback is hosted by *this* server, not by the client:

||||
