mcp-security-framework 1.2.2

Universal security framework for microservices with SSL/TLS, authentication, authorization, and rate limiting. Requires cryptography>=42.0.0 for certificate operations.

MCP Security Framework

Universal security framework for microservices with SSL/TLS, authentication, authorization, and rate limiting.

Features

• 🔐 Multi-method Authentication: API keys, JWT tokens, X.509 certificates
• 🛡️ SSL/TLS Management: Server and client certificate handling
• 🔑 Role-based Authorization: Flexible permission system with role hierarchy
• ⚡ Rate Limiting: Configurable request rate limiting
• 🚀 Framework Agnostic: Works with FastAPI, Flask, Django, and standalone
• 🛠️ CLI Tools: Certificate management and security testing
• 📊 Comprehensive Logging: Security event logging and monitoring

Quick Start

Installation

# Basic installation
pip install mcp-security-framework

# With framework support
pip install mcp-security-framework[fastapi]
pip install mcp-security-framework[flask]
pip install mcp-security-framework[django]

# Development installation
pip install mcp-security-framework[dev]

Basic Usage

from mcp_security_framework import SecurityManager, SecurityConfig
from mcp_security_framework.schemas.config import AuthConfig, PermissionConfig

# Create configuration
config = SecurityConfig(
    auth=AuthConfig(
        enabled=True,
        methods=["api_key"],
        api_keys={"admin": "admin_key_123"}
    ),
    permissions=PermissionConfig(roles_file="roles.json")
)

# Create security manager
security_manager = SecurityManager(config)

# Validate request
result = security_manager.validate_request({
    "api_key": "admin_key_123",
    "required_permissions": ["read", "write"]
})

if result.is_valid:
    print("Access granted!")
else:
    print(f"Access denied: {result.error_message}")

FastAPI Integration

from fastapi import FastAPI
from mcp_security_framework import create_fastapi_security_middleware, SecurityConfig

# Configuration
config = SecurityConfig(
    auth=AuthConfig(
        enabled=True,
        methods=["api_key", "jwt"],
        api_keys={"user": "user_key_456"}
    ),
    permissions=PermissionConfig(roles_file="roles.json")
)

# Create FastAPI app
app = FastAPI()

# Add security middleware
security_middleware = create_fastapi_security_middleware(config)
app.add_middleware(security_middleware)

@app.get("/secure")
async def secure_endpoint():
    return {"message": "Access granted"}

@app.get("/public")
async def public_endpoint():
    return {"message": "Public access"}

Flask Integration

from flask import Flask
from mcp_security_framework import create_flask_security_middleware, SecurityConfig

# Configuration
config = SecurityConfig(
    auth=AuthConfig(
        enabled=True,
        methods=["api_key"]
    ),
    permissions=PermissionConfig(roles_file="roles.json")
)

# Create Flask app
app = Flask(__name__)

# Add security middleware
security_middleware = create_flask_security_middleware(config)
app.wsgi_app = security_middleware(app.wsgi_app)

@app.route("/secure")
def secure_endpoint():
    return {"message": "Access granted"}

CLI Tools

Certificate Management

# Create root CA
mcp-cert create-ca --ca-name "My Root CA" --output-dir ./certs

# Create client certificate
mcp-cert create-client-cert --name "client1" --roles "user,admin" --permissions "read,write"

# Create server certificate
mcp-cert create-server-cert --name "api-server" --domains "api.example.com"

Security Testing

# Validate configuration
mcp-security validate-config --config-file security_config.json

# Test authentication
mcp-security test-auth --config-file security_config.json --api-key "test_key"
