Abstract:

   This document proposes a DID-based framework for service discovery,
   authentication, and authorization of MCP (Model Context Protocol)
   Agents, based on the W3C Decentralized Identifier (DID) standard.
   The framework uses the did:web and did:key methods to provide
   verifiable, decentralized identifiers for MCP Clients and Servers.
   It defines DID method selection, DID Document extensions, service
   discovery mechanisms (including URL derivation, DNS-based discovery,
   and directory-based capability queries), and a challenge-response
   mutual authentication protocol.  The framework also describes
   coexistence with OAuth 2.0 and enables trust establishment, dynamic
   capability-based service discovery, and fine-grained authorization
   with portable identities.
