MCP Server Auth: Per-User Tokens Replace Shared API Keys
The intent-brain knowledge base MCP server replaces a shared API key with per-user tokens for identity, a write gate for authorization, and a per-read access log. Each token resolves to an actor and role, enabling audit trails and individual revocation. The API is the real security boundary, not the client-side tool gate.

The piece correctly identifies that shared keys break at scale, but the solution's reliance on bearer tokens and in-memory registry may not satisfy enterprise security requirements.
