New proxy tool simplifies machine-to-machine MCP authentication

A new tool called mcp-client-credentials-auth has been developed to address the challenge of machine-to-machine authentication for MCP servers that typically require human interaction. This proxy sits between an MCP client and a remote MCP server, using OAuth client credentials to obtain and manage Bearer tokens. It enables autonomous agents, CI/CD pipelines, and server-to-server integrations to access protected MCP resources without manual intervention, simplifying the authentication process for non-interactive use cases.
