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#L320" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>redirect_handler(self, authorization_url: str) -> None
Open browser for authorization, with pre-flight check for invalid client.

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#L380" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>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.
