getmcpauth 0.1.0

Drop-in OAuth 2.1 + Dynamic Client Registration token verification for Python MCP servers, backed by mcpauth.

getmcpauth

Drop-in OAuth 2.1 + Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) token verification for Python MCP servers, backed by mcpauth.

Implements the official mcp SDK's TokenVerifier protocol — the official SDK ships a full bearer-auth middleware stack (BearerAuthBackend, RequireAuthMiddleware) but no ready-made verifier that actually checks a token against a real authorization server. This package is that verifier.

Install

pip install getmcpauth

Usage

import os
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
from getmcpauth import McpAuthTokenVerifier, build_auth_settings

mcp = FastMCP(
    "my-server",
    token_verifier=McpAuthTokenVerifier(
        "https://getmcpauth.dev/api/oauth/introspect",
        registration_secret=os.environ["MCPAUTH_SECRET"],
    ),
    auth=build_auth_settings(
        "https://getmcpauth.dev",
        resource_server_url="https://my-server.example.com",
    ),
)

Get a registration_secret by creating a project at getmcpauth.dev/dashboard.

API

• McpAuthTokenVerifier — implements mcp.server.auth.provider.TokenVerifier. Successful verifications are cached in-process (default 30s) so a chatty agent conversation doesn't trigger a network round trip on every tool call.
• build_auth_settings(issuer_url, *, resource_server_url, required_scopes=None) — builds an AuthSettings for FastMCP with Dynamic Client Registration enabled.
• required_scope_for_call(body) / is_authorized(required_scope, granted_scopes) / check_batch(bodies, granted_scopes) — helpers for MCP-native tool scoping (tool:<name> scope strings mapped directly to tools/call requests).
