Configuration

Environment Variables

# Required BETTER_AUTH_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id BETTER_AUTH_API_KEY=your-api-key # Optional BETTER_AUTH_ENV=development|staging|production LOG_LEVEL=info|debug|error

Security Best Practices

API Key Management
- Store API keys in environment variables
- Rotate keys regularly
- Use different keys per environment
Access Control
- Implement rate limiting
- Configure IP allowlists
- Use principle of least privilege
Monitoring
- Enable audit logging
- Monitor auth failures
- Set up alerts for suspicious activity

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Better Auth MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @nahmanmate/better-auth-mcp-server --client claude

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "better-auth-mcp-server": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/better-auth-mcp-server/build/index.js"], "disabled": false, "alwaysAllow": [] } } }

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

Usage Examples

Project Setup

// Initialize Better-Auth in your project await mcp.useTool('setup_better_auth', { projectPath: './my-next-app', config: { projectId: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_PROJECT_ID, apiKey: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_API_KEY } }); // Test core authentication flows await mcp.useTool('test_auth_flows', { flows: ['login', 'register', '2fa'] });

Migration from Auth.js/NextAuth

// Analyze current auth implementation await mcp.useTool('analyze_current_auth', { projectPath: './my-next-app' }); // Generate migration steps await mcp.useTool('generate_migration_plan', { projectPath: './my-next-app', currentAuthType: 'next-auth' });
