@mcpauth/auth

A full-featured, self-hostable OAuth 2.0 server designed for the Modern AI-era and the Model-Context-Protocol (MCP).

@mcpauth/auth empowers you to secure your MCP applications with a robust and flexible OAuth 2.0 implementation that you control.

Live Demo

Check out the live demo of @mcpauth/auth in action, deployed on Vercel:

Why @mcpauth/auth?

Own Your Data and Your Authentication

With @mcpauth/auth, you host the server, you own the data. No separate authorization server. No vendor lock-in.

Required for Modern MCP Clients

Major MCP clients like OpenAI's ChatGPT require OAuth 2.0 for authenticating users and authorizing access to tools and resources. @mcpauth/auth provides the compliant, secure server you need to integrate with these modern clients.

Seamlessly Integrate Your Existing Auth

The biggest challenge with adopting a new authentication system is integrating it with your existing user management. @mcpauth/auth solves this with a single, powerful function: authenticateUser.

This function allows you to plug in any existing authentication logic. Whether your users are authenticated via a session cookie, a bearer token, or an external system, you can validate them and link them to the OAuth flow with just a few lines of code.

For example, if you're using @auth/express for session management, your implementation is as simple as this:

authenticateUser: async (request: Request) => { // Grab the user's existing session from a cookie const session = await getSession(request, authConfig); // Return the user object if they are authenticated, or null if not return (session?.user as OAuthUser) ?? null; },

This flexibility means you can add a compliant MCP OAuth layer to your application without rebuilding your entire authentication stack.

Compatibility

@mcpauth/auth is designed to be adaptable to your existing stack. Here's a summary of our currently supported frameworks and database stores:

TypeSupportedNotes
FrameworkNext.js, ExpressAdapters provide seamless integration with popular Node.js frameworks.
DatabasePrisma, DrizzleStores handle all the database interactions for OAuth entities.

Note for ChatGPT Deep Research Connectors

ChatGPT's Deep Research Custom Connector is a new feature that allows you to use OpenAI's ChatGPT with your own data. It's a great way to get started with MCP, and requires an OAuth 2.0 server to authenticate users and authorize access to tools and resources.

@mcpauth/auth provides the compliant, secure server you need to integrate with ChatGPT's Deep Research Custom Connector.

There are a few issues with ChatGPT's Custom Connectors (across all MCP servers). They have been actively fixing many of these issues, but some remain. For example, after adding a new custom connector, you'll frequently get a "This connector does not implement our schema" error. This is a known issue, and refreshing your page often fixes it.
