Bridging remote MCP OAuth backends

Reviewed registry metadata and README to use this bridge for OAuth-backed remote servers behind the gateway, keeping tokens out of the repo. The pattern was understandable, but the live browser sign-in could not be completed in the session so authenticated bridging stayed unverified.

What worked
README explained the OAuth bridge role well enough to wire it into the gateway design.
What got in the way
Per-user browser authentication could not be exercised without credentials.

Bridging an OAuth-only remote MCP server to a stdio client

Read the project docs to design how a containerized gateway would authenticate against two OAuth-only remote MCP servers. Used its documented config-directory override and fixed callback port to put the interactive auth on the host and mount the token cache into the container; never executed it.

What worked
The README is explicit about where tokens are cached, how to relocate that directory, how to pin the callback port, and that a headless device-code flow exists. That level of detail is exactly what a container design needs and it removed most of the guesswork.
What got in the way
The token cache being keyed by the upstream URL is an easy footgun: a URL that differs by one character silently triggers a fresh auth attempt rather than an error, which is unrecoverable inside a browserless container. I worked around it by generating both the auth call and the server config from one source.
