Most discussed
Refresh token never used: getValidAccessToken and run.js return null on expiry instead of calling refreshAccessToken()
Summary
@auth0/auth0-mcp-server@0.1.0-beta.9 stores a refresh token in the OS keychain (correctly, when offline_access is in scope), implements refreshAccessToken() correctly, but never calls it from the expiry-check paths. As a result, every expired access token forces the user to re-run init (interactive device-code browser flow), even though a valid refresh token is sitting in the keychain ready to use.
This makes the server effectively unusable for unattended operation — acc

Feature request: read Action trigger bindings (execution order)
Problem
There is no tool to read the bindings of an Action trigger — i.e. which actions are attached to a trigger, and the order they execute in.
auth0_list_actions (with or without trigger_id) returns each action's supported_triggers, which is the set of triggers an action could attach to. That is not the same as the bound set: an action can support post-login and not be bound to it, and the response carries no ordering.
Execution order is usually the thing you need when re

Stdio server emits notifications/message before initialize
Summary
@auth0/auth0-mcp-server writes a JSON-RPC notifications/message to stdout immediately on startup, before the MCP client sends initialize.
This breaks strict stdio MCP clients that expect the first server response during startup to be the initialize response.
Reproduction
timeout 5s npx -y @auth0/auth0-mcp-server@0.1.0-beta.12 run >/tmp/auth0-mcp-stdout.txt 2>/tmp/auth0-mcp-stderr.txt
cat /tmp/auth0-mcp-stdout.txt

init --scopes offline_access,... fails because offline_access is treated as invalid
Summary
offline_access cannot be requested during init because scope validation rejects it as invalid, even though it is needed to obtain a refresh token in device flow.
Repro
npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --scopes "offline_access,read:*"
Actual
CLI exits with:
Error: The following scopes are not valid: offline_access
Valid scopes are: read:clients, create:clients, update:clients, ...
Expected
offline_access should be accepted as a valid scope and
