Overview

MCP Forge is a comprehensive MCP server template built in Go that provides production-ready features including OAuth authentication (RFC 8414 and RFC 9728 compliant), JWT validation methods, and configurable access logs. It includes examples for both remote providers like Claude Web and OpenAI, as well as local providers like Claude Desktop. The project offers a Dockerfile, Helm Chart, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD, making it easy to deploy and extend with custom tools and resources.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Building secure MCP servers with OAuth authentication for enterprise deployments
you:Creating custom MCP tools and resources in Go with minimal setup
you:Deploying MCP servers to Kubernetes with Helm charts
you:What OAuth standards does MCP Forge support?
you:Can I deploy MCP Forge to production?

When to choose this

Choose this template when building a production MCP server in Go that requires OAuth authentication and needs to support both local and remote AI providers.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose this if you need a server in a language other than Go, or if you require simpler authentication without OAuth complexity.
