Use https and OAuth with MCP Inspector?

[dahlsailrunner]

Hi there - I'm trying to set up an easy-to-use example that uses the MCP Inspector and OAuth.

My first question is regarding using https for the MCP Server itself. When I use ONLY https for the MCP Server, the MCP Inspector (from the community toolkit integration) fails to start, saying I don't have an http endpoint defined.

Next is that when I configure my MCP Server to have an OAuth server, the MCP Inspector fails on the first step of the "Quick OAuth Flow" in the inspector -- on Metadata discovery. I can see some http requests but they are not working, and i think at least part of it may be due to http vs https. I'm wondering if there's a sample somewhere that I can look at to see this working.

Can the MCP inspector be run on HTTPS? All the integration does is run it per the docs.

Can you run per their docs and achieve the auth flow you're aiming for? If so, we'd need to update the integration to match any additional args required.

Researching - and thanks for the notes. Found out a little more, and I was fighting cors issues first. making progress and will keep this thread updated.
