The gap you've identified is real and still present on `master`. For context, [PR #41292](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/41292) (`fix(mcp): require MCP_JWT_AUDIENCE when MCP JWT auth is enabled`) introduced `MCPAuthConfigError` and made `_create_auth_provider` re-raise it from the **default factory** path. Its description explicitly states: *"The server bootstrap (`_create_auth_provider`) re-raises that error rather than swallowing it. This matters because a swallowed build error returns a `None` provider, and the start path treats `auth_provider is None` as 'auth disabled' — i.e. the service would otherwise come up unauthenticated."* [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/41292) However, this fix only covers the `elif` (default factory) branch. The **`MCP_AUTH_FACTORY` (custom factory) branch** still has a bare `except Exception` that logs an error and falls through, leaving `auth_provider` as `None` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/superset/mcp_service/server.py). The server then starts unauthenticated — exactly the scenario the default-factory branch was hardened against. The fix is straightforward: either re-raise from the custom factory's `except Exception` block, or wrap the exception in `MCPAuthConfigError` and let the existing re-raise pattern handle it. Both approaches are consistent with the fail-closed intent already expressed in the codebase. The `MCPAuthConfigError` type and the precedent are already in place [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/41292). Please do open a PR — the path is clear and the change is small. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
