Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

The documentation here states that you need to expose a route to send the oAuthProtectedResourceMetadata which makes sense but:

  1. the route file is wrong (name of the file is .well-known/oauth-authorization-server/route.ts which is to expose the oauth autorization server rather than the metadata
  2. the utility is not actually exported from better-auth/plugins

Am i doing something wrong?

https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/mcp#oauth-protected-resource-metadata

Step to Reproduce

  1. try to import oAuthProtectedResourceMetadata
  2. notice Typescript is mad at you
  3. try to run the code anyway
  4. notice it fails at runtime because it's not exported

Current vs. Expected behavior

oAuthProtectedResourceMetadata is not exported (or even implemented), instead it should

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.3.7

Hi @paoloricciuti! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

You're not doing anything wrong—this was a real gap in Better Auth 1.3.7. The oAuthProtectedResourceMetadata utility wasn't exported from better-auth/plugins, so TypeScript errors and runtime failures are expected if you try to import it as described in the docs. The documentation also pointed to the wrong route file; the correct endpoint for OAuth protected resource metadata is /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource, not /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server PR #4394.

This has just been fixed: as of 2025-09-04, new releases implement and export oAuthProtectedResourceMetadata from the MCP plugin, update the docs, and expose the correct route. There's also a new resource option in the MCP plugin to customize the resource value in the metadata endpoint, defaulting to the base URL origin PR #4419.

If you need this feature, you'll need to upgrade to a version that includes these changes. If you can't upgrade right now, you'll have to implement the endpoint yourself as a workaround. If you relied on the old behavior (full baseURL as the resource), set the resource option explicitly to keep compatibility.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
