Review and align OAuth/authentication architecture for RH-hosted deployment
Background
The Insights MCP currently supports multiple authentication modes (Bearer token, service account
credentials, OAuth via OIDCProxy). As the team is evaluating hosting this MCP as a Red Hat

Provide Automation Analytics in Insights MCP
There is a demand from users of Ansible Automation Platform to be able to provide Automation Analytics contents in the Insights MCP. This would be a perfect fit, due to the read-only nature of Automation Analytics, so you can query:
Reports Savings Planner Automation Calculator Organization Statistics Job Explorer
With that you can ask questions regarding reports, such as: "how many hours were saved thanks to automation in the previous month?"

Image Builder server instructions exceed Claude Code's 2KB limit (currently 3.2KB)

authentication is failing when running with remote (http) mcp server
Note that the same service account client id and secret work with the local (stdio) mcp server.
The remote option doesn't seem to work. When I run the MCP server it starts:
podman run --net host --rm ghcr.io/redhatinsights/insights-mcp:latest http

### Testing the scenario for MCP insights - Group creation
When I'm creating the group, after adding the roles and the user, I get an unspecified error and the process of group creation stops and shows an error:
