OAuth client provider for MCP servers with browser-based authentication.
This class provides OAuth authentication for FastMCP clients by opening
a browser for user authorization and running a local callback server.
**Methods:**
#### `redirect_handler` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/client/auth/oauth.py#L290" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
redirect_handler(self, authorization_url: str) -> None
```
Open browser for authorization, with pre-flight check for invalid client.
#### `callback_handler` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/client/auth/oauth.py#L311" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
callback_handler(self) -> tuple[str, str | None]
```
Handle OAuth callback and return (auth_code, state).
#### `async_auth_flow` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/client/auth/oauth.py#L350" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
async_auth_flow(self, request: httpx.Request) -> AsyncGenerator[httpx.Request, httpx.Response]
```
HTTPX auth flow with automatic retry on stale cached credentials.
If the OAuth flow fails due to invalid/stale client credentials,
clears the cache and retries once with fresh registration.
