Brad Mcnew

Brad McNewbrad contributed to the IBM/mcp-context-forge repository by developing two key backend features focused on security and integration. He implemented RFC 8707 Resource Indicator support, enabling OAuth providers to issue JWT tokens with normalized resource URLs and enhanced error handling, which improved token issuance workflows. Additionally, Brad enabled CORS preflight requests for MCP endpoints, updating middleware to correctly handle streaming responses and set appropriate CORS headers, thereby facilitating browser-based client integration. His work, primarily in Python, emphasized robust API development and middleware design, delivering depth in security and interoperability while laying groundwork for future enhancements without addressing bug fixes.
