description: >-
  Verto Education exposes exactly one authenticated machine surface: the remote MCP
  endpoint at https://vertoeducation.org/wp-json/mcp/mcp-oauth-server, fronted by an
  OAuth 2.0 authorization server on the same origin. This profile is read directly
  from the two live discovery documents (RFC 8414 and RFC 9728), not from an OpenAPI
  securityScheme - Verto publishes no OpenAPI. There is no public developer portal,
  no API key programme, and no documented auth page; everything recorded here was
  established by probe.

          The only scope the authorization server advertises. Its exact grant surface
          is not documented by the provider; it gates the MCP endpoint named in the
          protected-resource metadata.
  grant_types:
  - authorization_code
  - refresh_token
  response_types:
  - code
  client_authentication:
  - none
  client_authentication_note: >-
    token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported is ["none"], i.e. public clients only. There
    is no client_secret_basic or client_secret_post, and no RFC 7591 dynamic client
    registration endpoint is advertised; the server sets
    client_id_metadata_document_supported true instead, so a client is identified by a
    URL pointing at its own metadata document.

  note: >-
    The entire WordPress REST API on this host is closed to anonymous callers. /wp-json,
    /wp-json/wp/v2, /wp-json/wp/v2/posts and /?rest_route=/ each return HTTP 401
    {"code":"rest_not_logged_in"}. This is a deliberate hardening choice, not a
    misconfiguration, and it means no anonymous content API exists here.
openid_connect: false
openid_connect_note: >-
  /.well-known/openid-configuration returns the WordPress 404 template. The server is
  a bare OAuth 2.0 authorization server, not an OIDC provider - no id_token, no userinfo
  endpoint, no jwks_uri advertised.
mtls: false
api_keys: false
docs: null
docs_note: >-
  Verto publishes no authentication documentation. The auth surface is discoverable only
  from the machine-readable metadata documents, which is unusually good machine
  discoverability paired with zero human documentation.
