    Class AuthenticationRequiredError

    Error thrown when authentication is required to access an MCP endpoint

    This error is thrown during MCP endpoint discovery when the server returns a 401 Unauthorized response. If the server supports OAuth, the error includes the OAuth metadata to help clients initiate the authentication flow.

    try {
      await client.getProducts({ brief: 'test' });
    } catch (error) {
      if (error instanceof AuthenticationRequiredError) {
        if (error.oauthMetadata) {
          // Redirect user to OAuth flow
          const authUrl = error.oauthMetadata.authorization_endpoint;
          console.log(`Please authenticate at: ${authUrl}`);
        } else {
          console.log('Authentication required but OAuth not available');
        }
      }
    }

    agentUrl: string
    oauthMetadata?: OAuthMetadataInfo
    stackTraceLimit: number

    The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

    The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

    If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

    cause?: unknown
    name: string
    message: string
    stack?: string

    Accessors

    • get authorizationUrl(): undefined | string

      Get the authorization URL if OAuth is available

      Returns undefined | string

    Methods

    • Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

      const myObject = {};
      Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
      myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

      The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

      The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

      The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

      function a() {
        b();
      }

      function b() {
        c();
      }

      function c() {
        // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
        const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
        Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
        const error = new Error();
        Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

        // Capture the stack trace above function b
        Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
        throw error;
      }

      a();

      Parameters

      • targetObject: object
      • OptionalconstructorOpt: Function

      Returns void
