How Claude's custom connector discovers osFoundry's OAuth server and why access is checked on every call

A technical write-up examines how remote MCP clients such as Claude's custom connector find osFoundry's OAuth login page after an unauthenticated request returns a 401 response. The author tested the production endpoint with curl from Tokyo and showed that the handshake and tool listing are public while tool calls require a token. The article describes the 59 available tools, their OAuth scopes, and the read-only annotations hosts can use to decide when to prompt for confirmation. It also explains the RFC 9728 resource metadata path, which is a common stumbling point for developers building their own clients. Finally, it outlines the authorization server settings, including dynamic client registration, PKCE, and a consent page that grants access to a single workspace.

Ant colony found trapped for years in a Soviet-era bunker, surviving by cannibalism

A study published in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research reports on an ant colony discovered inside a Soviet-era bunker. The insects appear to have been sealed off for years, with no access to outside food. The researchers describe how the colony sustained itself through cannibalism during that isolation. The article text provided is only a link and metadata, so further details about the location, timing, and species could not be verified from the source material.

CogniPrep adds three hub pages explaining assessment tests to new users

CogniPrep recently launched three hub pages aimed at people unfamiliar with assessment vendors. Two cover the same subject for different markets: a British English page on psychometric tests for UK graduate schemes, and a US English page on pre-employment tests organised by role type. A third page covers game-based assessments across vendors and is market-neutral. The author notes the two regional pages differ in substance, not just in a find-and-replace of spelling. Some shared components, such as footer labels, URL slugs and schema.org markup, still carry mixed spelling because regional pages cannot override them.

Munchable adds an eighth condition, exposing how hardcoded counts drifted out of sync

Munchable, a tool that checks packaged food against digestive-condition rule sets, expanded from seven conditions to eight. A single commit touched 63 files, and a dozen of the changes were one-line edits replacing the spelled-out word "seven" in copy across the app, docs, and shared packages. The author notes the number had been scattered through the codebase as literal text rather than derived from the data. A test checking the phrase also hardcoded "seven", so it kept passing despite the copy becoming wrong. The fix was to compute the count from the condition registry and have the tests import the same constant the pages render.
