Pull request overview
This PR adds a context-aware CORS policy to enhance security for the HTTP transport mode. The policy behaves differently based on the authentication mode: in development mode (unauthenticated), it restricts requests to localhost origins only to prevent CSRF attacks, while in production mode (authenticated), it allows all origins since JWT Bearer authentication validates all requests.
Changes:
- Introduced a new
ConfigureCors()method that configures CORS policy based on theDangerouslyDisableHttpIncomingAuthflag - Replaced the permissive "AllowAll" CORS policy with a context-aware "McpCorsPolicy"
- Updated both
CreateHttpHostandCreateIncomingAuthDisabledHttpHostmethods to use the new shared CORS configuration
