Summary
The MCP server page documented how to get a docs JWT for API-key and password-protected sites, but not for SSO sites — the only remaining auth type, and the one customers with WorkOS SSO actually hit. Adds an SSO tab to the existing "Get a token"
<Tabs>pointing at/api/fern-docs/whoami, which returns the token for the current browser session (the session cookie ishttpOnly, so this endpoint is the only way to read it).Also notes that the JWT can be sent as
Authorization: Bearer <jwt>for clients that can't set arbitrary headers — that support is added in fern-api/fern-platform#13708 and should land before this merges.Plus a changelog entry for 2026-08-07.
