endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

pypi package rootly-mcp-server - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry vendor namespace com.rootly - domain-verified with the official MCP registry
