Auth Step-by-Step

Provides a detailed, iterative walkthrough for implementing authorization in an Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

About

This repository offers a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to building a secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It demonstrates how to establish an MCP server using FastAPI with HTTP transport, incorporating robust JWT token authentication, OAuth 2.0 metadata endpoints, scope-based authorization, and role-based access control. The project is structured into progressive steps, starting from a basic FastAPI skeleton and gradually adding complex security features, making it an ideal resource for understanding and implementing secure MCP solutions.
