## What is holding H&R Block back

1. **MCP server**, 8 points lost. No MCP server, server card or registry entry was found for this organization. Fix: Publish a remote MCP server with OAuth. Start with read only tools such as account status, orders or location search, and publish a server card at /.well known/mcp/server card.
2. **Developer and data sharing program**, 4 points lost. No developer portal or data sharing program was found on public pages. Fix: Document the program, the standard in use for example FDX in US banking, the supported partners and a sandbox.
3. **Documented delegate and data sharing controls**, 4 points lost. No public page on delegate access or connected app controls was found. Fix: Publish a help page on delegate access and add a connected apps screen where customers revoke access.
4. **Sign in page loads for a declared agent in a browser**, 4 points lost. The sign in page did not load for an agent or a standard automated browser. Fix: Serve the sign in page to verified agent browsers, and use signed agent identity to separate them from attackers.

## What already works

- OAuth and OpenID metadata
- PKCE and client registration
- Content available without running scripts
