([vercel.com](https://vercel.com/docs/mcp/deploy-mcp-servers-to-vercel), read 4 November 2026) - mcp-handler v2 removes the legacy HTTP+SSE transport and the Redis configuration; clients connect over Streamable HTTP at a framework route such as /api/mcp. ([vercel.com](https://vercel.com/docs/mcp/deploy-mcp-servers-to-vercel), read 4 November 2026) - withMcpAuth wraps a handler with token verification and returns 401 without a valid token and 403 when a scope is missing; the package does not issue tokens or run an authorization server.
