A Python SDK providing plug-and-play OAuth 2.1 authentication for MCP servers.
Overview
The MCP Auth Python SDK is a comprehensive solution for implementing OAuth 2.1 authentication in MCP servers. It simplifies the complex authentication process required by the MCP specification by providing pre-built integrations with trusted providers. The SDK aims to save developers weeks of work by offering a few lines of code implementation rather than building authentication systems from scratch. The project appears well-maintained with regular commits, comprehensive documentation, and active community engagement through GitHub discussions.
