- **MCP TypeScript SDK adds an audience check for bearer tokens** (Founder news, Model Context Protocol, [05 OCT 2026](https://cookiesforai.app/ai-news/2026-10-05)): MCP TypeScript SDK 2.3.1 adds an optional expectedResource check to requireBearerAuth. It confirms a token was issued for the server that receives it. Why it matters: Remote MCP servers can close a token misuse gap by turning the check on.
