python · Summary

A Python SDK providing plug-and-play OAuth 2.1 authentication for MCP servers.

everything · Summary

Official MCP test server exercising all protocol features for client builders.

python · Use cases

  • Securely connecting Python MCP servers to external services using OAuth 2.1
  • Rapid implementation of authentication in MCP servers without deep security expertise
  • Standardizing authentication across multiple MCP servers using a single SDK

everything · Use cases

  • Testing MCP client implementations against all protocol features
  • Learning MCP protocol capabilities through a reference server
  • Validating client compatibility with different transport methods

python · Install

pip install mcpauth

Add to your MCP server implementation:

from mcpauth import AuthMiddleware

# Initialize with your provider configuration
auth = AuthMiddleware(
    provider="your_provider",
    client_id="your_client_id",
    client_secret="your_client_secret"
)

# Apply to your MCP server
server = YourMCPServer()
server.with_auth(auth)
