@@ -530,3 +530,18 @@ MCP clients **MUST** implement and use the `resource` parameter as defined in [R

to explicitly specify the target resource for which the token is being requested. This requirement aligns with the recommendation in
531531
[RFC 9728 Section 7.4](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9728#section-7.4). This ensures that access tokens are bound to their intended resources and

## MCP Authorization Extensions
535+
536+
There are several authorization extensions to the core protocol that define additional authorization mechanisms. These extensions are:
537+
538+
* **Optional** - Implementations can choose to adopt these extensions
539+
* **Additive** - Extensions do not modify or break core protocol functionality; they add new capabilities while preserving core protocol behavior
540+
* **Composable** - Extensions are modular and designed to work together without conflicts, allowing implementations to adopt multiple extensions simultaneously
541+
* **Versioned independently** - Extensions follow the core MCP versioning cycle but may adopt independent versioning as needed
542+
