 # Changelog
 
+## 4.3.0
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Plan-gated tools say so up front.** The server reads the key's scopes from `/v2/key-status`: once at startup on stdio, and per request on HTTP, cached for a minute per key. When the plan doesn't include a tool (today only `market_chat`), the tool stays listed, but its description says it needs a higher-tier plan and links to pricing. Calling it returns the upgrade link at once, with no API call and no credits spent. Before, the agent found out only by spending a call on a permission error.
+- If the scopes can't be read within 3 seconds, nothing is locked and the API still enforces access.
+
+## 4.2.0
+
+### Added
+
+- **OAuth sign-in for hosted deployments** (`ELFA_MCP_AUTH=oauth`, HTTP transport only). Clients such as ChatGPT, Claude and Codex can connect with a browser sign-in instead of an API key. The server acts as an OAuth resource server under the MCP authorization spec:
+  - It serves RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp` (and at the root path).
+  - A request with no credential gets `401` with a `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer resource_metadata=…` challenge.
+  - Each bearer token is checked against the authorization server's introspection endpoint, which returns the Elfa API key the request runs as. The token itself is never forwarded to the Elfa API.
+  - The token must be issued for this server: its audience has to match `ELFA_MCP_RESOURCE_URL`.
+  - Valid answers are cached for up to 60 seconds.
+  - An unreachable authorization server returns `503`, not `401`, so clients don't restart sign-in because of an outage.
+- An `x-elfa-api-key` header still works in OAuth mode, so API-key users of the same deployment are unaffected.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `getMarketEvents-v2` is no longer listed as unexposed. The Elfa API dropped it from the published spec, so there is nothing left to account for.
+- In OAuth mode `ELFA_API_KEY` is ignored. Every request brings its own credential, and an environment key would otherwise be handed to any caller that sends none. API-key mode keeps its environment fallback.

+Some tools depend on the plan: today `market_chat`, which needs a higher-tier plan than the free one. At startup (stdio) or per request (HTTP, cached for a minute per key), the server reads the key's scopes from `/v2/key-status`. A tool the plan doesn't include stays listed, but its description says it needs a higher-tier plan, and calling it returns the upgrade link without calling the API or spending credits. If the scopes can't be read within 3 seconds, every tool is listed as usual and the API decides.

 Streaming endpoints stay available through the [SDKs](https://docs.elfa.ai) for applications that can consume SSE.

 DNS rebinding protection is on by default. The server accepts only the loopback names it binds — `localhost:PORT` and `127.0.0.1:PORT` — which covers the local run above and nothing else. Any deployment that answers on a different `Host` must list the values it serves:

 Set `ELFA_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` as well when browsers call the server directly. It complements the host allowlist rather than replacing it: a rebound request is same origin, so it carries no `Origin` header for that list to check, and the `Host` header is the only one still naming the attacker's domain.
 
+### OAuth sign-in
+
+A hosted server can let clients sign in through a browser instead of sending an API key. Set `ELFA_MCP_AUTH=oauth` and the server becomes an OAuth resource server under the MCP authorization spec:
+
+1. A request with no credential gets `401` and a `WWW-Authenticate` challenge.
+2. The challenge points the client to the protected-resource metadata at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp`.
+3. That metadata names the authorization server, where the user signs in.
+4. The client then sends `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.
+5. The server checks the token against the authorization server's introspection endpoint. The endpoint answers with the Elfa API key the request runs as, so the token never reaches the Elfa API.
+
+```bash
+ELFA_MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
+ELFA_MCP_AUTH=oauth \
+ELFA_MCP_RESOURCE_URL=https://mcp.example.com/mcp \
+ELFA_OAUTH_ISSUER=https://auth.example.com \
+ELFA_OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_URL=https://auth.example.com/introspect \
+ELFA_OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_TOKEN=... \
+ELFA_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS=mcp.example.com \

+
+| Variable | Required in OAuth mode | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `ELFA_MCP_AUTH` | yes | `oauth` to enable, default `apikey` |
+| `ELFA_MCP_RESOURCE_URL` | yes | Canonical URL of this endpoint. Tokens must be issued for exactly this value |
+| `ELFA_OAUTH_ISSUER` | yes | Authorization server listed in the metadata |
+| `ELFA_OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_URL` | yes | Where tokens are checked |
+| `ELFA_OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_TOKEN` | yes | Bearer sent to the introspection endpoint |
+| `ELFA_OAUTH_SCOPES` | no | Comma separated scopes to advertise, default `elfa` |
+
+Notes:
+
+- An `x-elfa-api-key` header still works in OAuth mode.
+- `ELFA_API_KEY` is ignored in OAuth mode, so a caller with no credential never runs as the server's own key.
+- Valid tokens are cached for up to a minute, which bounds how long a revoked token keeps working.

 ## Safety
 
 `api_status` is the fastest way to tell an auth problem from a credit problem.
