## The brief

Version 1 of Cloudflare's Workers OAuth Provider separates the authorization server from the MCP resource server, allowing them to run in different Workers. Tokens can be checked through a Service Binding rather than over the public internet. The release supports the July 2026 MCP authorization specification while retaining compatibility with older clients, including dynamic client registration.
