Access and Authentication
OAuth 2.1 + DCR, OAuth 2.0, and x-api-key authentication for the barocline MCP
The Athenium Weather MCP supports three authentication methods, so you can connect from any MCP-capable client, automation script, or API integration without locking into a single auth scheme:
- OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration (DCR): zero-configuration setup for modern MCP clients.
- OAuth 2.0: for clients on the older OAuth standard.
- API key (
x-api-keyheader): for headless services and the Weather Risk MCP.
All three back the same tools and data. Pick the one that matches your client.
Connection options
| Method | Endpoint | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth 2.1 + DCR | https://mcp.barocline.com/mcp | MCP clients that auto-register (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, modern MCP tooling). |
| OAuth 2.0 | https://mcpoauth.barocline.com/mcp | Clients without DCR support; pre-registered OAuth integrations. |
x-api-key | https://mcpkey.barocline.com/weather-risk/mcp | Server-to-server scripts, batch jobs, and the Weather Risk MCP. |
OAuth 2.1 + DCR
Connect to the primary Weather MCP at:
https://mcp.barocline.com/mcpThis endpoint speaks OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration. Your MCP client registers itself with our authorization server on first connection, with no manual client_id / client_secret provisioning, no support ticket, and no copy-paste between dashboards.
On first connection, the client discovers the authorization server, registers dynamically, and prompts you to sign in through Athenium. Tokens are issued, stored, and refreshed automatically by the client; subsequent connections require no further interaction until the refresh token expires.
Modern MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, and most tooling released alongside the MCP spec) handle this end-to-end.
OAuth 2.0
Connect at:
https://mcpoauth.barocline.com/mcpUse this when your client doesn't support Dynamic Client Registration. Clients here need a pre-registered OAuth application (client_id / client_secret) that can be provided to users by contacting customer.support@athenium.com after registration.
API key (x-api-key)
Connect to the Weather Risk MCP at:
https://mcpkey.barocline.com/weather-risk/mcpAuthenticate every request with the x-api-key header:
x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEYUse this for server-to-server integrations, scheduled jobs, or anything that can't host an interactive browser flow. Request a key after registration by contacting customer.support@athenium.com.
