[Feature request] Integration with Claude Desktop

[junietryme]

In the youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBUnLYFwwyE at minute 3:10, Dan Vega said "it could be Claude Desktop".

It seems that as of now the example from the video cannot support this use case.

Claude desktop is following the spec, https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/basic/authorization#sequence-diagram

However, Spring AI MCP Server, acting as a resource server here, is not sending the HTTP 401 Unauthorized with WWW-Authenticate header.

This blocks Claude Desktop from proceeding with subsequent flows. (But Claude desktop supports it, it is just that the resource server, here Spring AI seems to not give the needed information)

As of now, as shown in the video with the MCP Inspector, the token needs to be added manually.

At minute 15:30, Dan suggested to do a follow up on that. It would be great to the community if this could happen.

Many comments in the blog, github, youtube are asking if it is possible to have the "next step".

Kudos to @Kehrlann @markpollack @danvega

Hey @junietryme !

We're working on this here: https://github.com/spring-ai-community/mcp-security/ . It is very, very rough for now, but slowly shaping up.

It requires some changes to Spring Security, as well as the latest changes from Spring AI.

Today I did a spike (on a local branch for now), and I can confirm it's possible to make all of this work with the MCP Inspector, Cursor and even Claude Desktop (see screenshot below). Keep an eye on that repo. We'll publish some 0.0.x version when we think it's usable enough.

Cheering for you guys!

A video with Dan + Dan, looking forward to it!
