+  Token endpoint authentication method for the upstream OAuth server. Controls how the proxy authenticates when exchanging authorization codes and refresh tokens with the upstream provider.
+  - `"client_secret_basic"`: Send credentials in Authorization header (most common)
+  - `"client_secret_post"`: Send credentials in request body (required by some providers)
+  - `"none"`: No authentication (for public clients)
+  - `None` (default): Uses authlib's default (typically `"client_secret_basic"`)

   List of allowed redirect URI patterns for MCP clients. Patterns support wildcards (e.g., `"http://localhost:*"`, `"https://*.example.com/*"`).
