September 2025 monthly summary for wso2/carbon-apimgt: Stabilized MCP authentication upstream flow to improve reliability of API access. Implemented upstream MCP Authentication Internal Key fixes and introduced upstream JWT generation for EXISTING_API subtypes; when MCP authentication is confirmed, subscription validation is bypassed to reduce auth-related failures. This work directly enhances API accessibility for existing API types and reduces downstream support incidents.
