Why it matters

It's the second step of the chain: the host reads it to learn where to send the user to sign in.

How to pass

Serve /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource as JSON with resource and authorization_servers.

Run it

Find oauth-protected-resource in the report. Add --md for a fix prompt you can paste into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
