## Authentication

A paid account's OAuth access token in Authorization: Bearer mcp*access*…, or an API key in x-api-key or Authorization: Bearer vc\_…. Credentials are headers, never URL query parameters.

## Response headers

```

## Operation notes

* POST is the only supported MCP HTTP method. Authenticated GET, DELETE, and other non-POST requests return METHOD\_NOT\_ALLOWED with HTTP 405 and Allow: POST after account rate and origin checks. Request parsing or CORS handling can respond earlier. There is no GET SSE channel or session-delete route.
* Send Content-Type: application/json and Accept: application/json, text/event-stream. The installed MCP transport requires both Accept values even though this server enables JSON responses.
* Use the normal MCP lifecycle: initialize, send notifications/initialized, then tools/list or tools/call. Include the negotiated MCP-Protocol-Version header on subsequent requests.
* The server is stateless and returns no Mcp-Session-Id. Each HTTP request reauthenticates current permissions, user/team ownership, and paid account access.
* tools/list uses an opaque string cursor from nextCursor and returns 50 tools per page. Continue until nextCursor is absent. Invalid cursors produce a JSON-RPC method error.
* Each tool declares its required OAuth scopes in securitySchemes and \_meta.securitySchemes. action\_request\_get additionally checks the original action's permissions.
* Tool annotations describe read-only and destructive behavior. openWorldHint indicates interaction with external services or media sources; it does not grant extra permissions.
* webhooks\_create\_secret is REST-only. It is excluded from MCP discovery; calling it or polling it through MCP returns the tool error ACTION\_NOT\_AVAILABLE\_IN\_MCP. Signing secrets are not sent to assistants.
* tools/call accepts \{name, arguments}; tool names and argument schemas are shared with /v1/actions. Mutations use a UUID v4 requestId inside arguments and reuse identical arguments for retries.
* Normal successful tool calls return content containing the serialized \{data, requestId?} result plus the same structuredContent. Image download actions return native MCP image content and a text generationId instead.
* Action failures are tool results with isError: true, text error details, and structuredContent.error; they are not necessarily HTTP failures. Inspect both transport and tool-level errors.
* A long-running tool result includes its action request ID and pollAction: action\_request\_get. Poll with the original operation name; do not recreate a generation to check progress.
* Initialization, notifications, discovery, and tool calls all count toward the shared account rate limit. Only successful data actions consume monthly integration calls, with documented status/control exceptions.
* Send one JSON-RPC message per HTTP request. JSON bodies are limited to 1 MiB; media bytes use the upload actions.
* The Host header must match the canonical MCP host. If an Origin header is present, it must be the MCP origin, application origin, [https://chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com), [https://chat.openai.com](https://chat.openai.com), or [https://claude.ai](https://claude.ai). Native clients may omit Origin.
* HTTP 401 errors include WWW-Authenticate: Bearer resource\_metadata="[https://api.voicecheap.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp](https://api.voicecheap.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp)" in production.
* Authentication failures use the integration error object. MCP protocol checks can return \{code, message}; other protocol failures use JSON-RPC error objects with numeric error codes. Do not assume one error envelope for every transport failure.
* The route's public HTTP guard permits 3000 requests per minute per client IP before account authentication. Each account retains its lower plan-specific shared API/MCP rate limit.
* Authorization-related tool errors include a Bearer challenge under \_meta with the mcp/www\_authenticate key. Reconnect your account with the required permissions before retrying.

## Errors

| 403 | `INTEGRATION_PLAN_UNSUPPORTED` | The account's integration limits could not be verified. |
| 403 | `AMBIGUOUS_TEAM_API_KEY` | The credential's user belongs to more than one team, so the billing context is ambiguous. |
