Notes that the admin MCP
manage_access_authswitch between site and end-user authentication only carries over JWT, and rejects other types with a 409 instead of removing login.Based on a merged change that blocks auth switches that can't keep the existing configuration. Duplicate check: open docs PRs for "auth", "authentication", and by the author; none found.
Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only change to MCP tool behavior; no product or runtime code in this PR.
Overview
Expands the
manage_access_authwrite-tool description in the admin MCP docs so AI clients know how switching between site and end-user authentication behaves.Switching now documents that only a JWT configuration is carried over. If the active setup is any other auth type, the switch fails with
409and the live site is left unchanged. The doc also tells callers to configure the new authentication type directly instead of relying on switch when moving between non-JWT types.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit a4637d1. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
