PROFILE

Wils Dawson

Over a two-month period, contributed to the dandavison/modelcontextprotocol-modelcontextprotocol and modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk repositories by advancing authorization standards and enhancing OAuth 2.1 compliance. Work included standardizing OAuth 2.0 references and clarifying security considerations in the authorization draft, which improved interoperability and onboarding for downstream integrations. In the Rust SDK, implemented RFC 8707 resource parameter support, PKCE verification, and progressive scope upgrades, while introducing robust error handling for insufficient scopes. Leveraged Rust and Markdown to expand API surfaces, refine error signaling, and improve documentation, resulting in more secure, maintainable authorization flows and a stronger foundation for future scope upgrade features.
