# ✅ OAuth Implementation Complete - Next Steps
## Current Status
✅ **All OAuth endpoints working** with correct ngrok URLs
✅ **Cache-control headers added** to prevent ChatGPT caching
✅ **Debug logging enabled** for troubleshooting
✅ **Per-user game state** implemented
✅ **JWT token verification** working
## The Problem
ChatGPT cached old metadata when your `MCP_SERVER_URL` was set to `localhost:8000`. Even though the endpoints now return the correct ngrok URL, ChatGPT is using its cached version.
## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Update Google OAuth Redirect URI First!
**Before following the steps below**, you MUST update your Google OAuth redirect URI:
1. Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
2. Click on your OAuth 2.0 Client ID
3. Under **Authorized redirect URIs**, update to:
```
https://shimmery-genevive-wooly.ngrok-free.dev/oauth/callback
```
(Use your actual ngrok URL, not ChatGPT's callback!)
4. Click **Save**
**The redirect URI has changed from:**
- ❌ Old: `https://chat.openai.com/aip/oauth2/callback`
- ✅ New: `https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok-free.dev/oauth/callback`
## The Solution (3 Steps)
### Step 1: Delete Old Connector in ChatGPT
1. Go to https://chat.openai.com/
2. Click **Settings** (bottom left)
3. Navigate to **Connectors** or **Beta Features**
4. Find **Chess MCP** connector
5. Click **Delete** or **Remove**
6. **IMPORTANT:** Wait **2-3 minutes** for the cache to expire
### Step 2: Verify Endpoints (Optional but Recommended)
Run these commands to confirm everything is ready:
```bash
# 1. Protected resource (should show your ngrok URL)
curl https://shimmery-genevive-wooly.ngrok-free.dev/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
# 2. Authorization server (should show ngrok URL in registration_endpoint)
curl https://shimmery-genevive-wooly.ngrok-free.dev/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server | grep registration_endpoint
# 3. DCR endpoint (should return client credentials)
curl -X POST https://shimmery-genevive-wooly.ngrok-free.dev/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server/register \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"redirect_uris":["https://chat.openai.com/aip/oauth2/callback"]}'
```
All should return success with your ngrok URL (not localhost).
### Step 3: Add New Connector in ChatGPT
1. Go back to ChatGPT Settings → Connectors
2. Click **Add Connector** or **+ New**
3. Fill in:
- **Name:** Chess MCP
- **URL:** `https://shimmery-genevive-wooly.ngrok-free.dev`
- **Description:** Play chess with Google OAuth authentication
4. Click **Save** or **Add**
ChatGPT will now:
- Fetch fresh OAuth metadata (no cache)
- Discover the DCR endpoint with correct URL
- Register successfully
- Be ready to authenticate users
### Step 4: Test the OAuth Flow
1. Start a new ChatGPT conversation
2. Type: `Let's play chess! I'll start with e4`
3. ChatGPT will prompt you to **Connect** or **Authenticate**
4. Click the authentication button
5. You'll be redirected to **Google login**
6. Sign in with your Google account
7. Grant permissions (openid, email, profile)
8. You'll be redirected back to ChatGPT
9. The chess board should appear! ♟️
## What to Watch For
### Server Logs
You should see these log messages when ChatGPT connects:
```
[OAuth] Protected resource metadata requested from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[OAuth] Authorization server metadata requested from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[OAuth] Returning registration_endpoint: https://shimmery-genevive-wooly.ngrok-free.dev/...
[OAuth] DCR registration request received from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[OAuth] DCR returning client_id: 656546278993-j77tahcn...
```
### ChatGPT Behavior
- First tool call will prompt for authentication
- Google login page appears
- After authentication, tools work immediately
- Each user gets their own isolated chess game
## If It Still Doesn't Work
### Option A: Try Incognito Browser
1. Open ChatGPT in **incognito/private browsing**
2. Add the connector there (completely fresh, no cache)
3. Test the OAuth flow
### Option B: Get New ngrok URL
1. Stop ngrok (Ctrl+C)
2. Run `ngrok http 8000` again (gets new subdomain)
3. Update `server/.env` with the NEW ngrok URL
4. Restart Python server: `python3 main.py`
5. Add connector with the new URL
ChatGPT has no cached data for a new URL, so this guarantees a fresh start.
## Pre-Flight Checklist
Before adding the connector, verify:
- [ ] Server running: `python3 server/main.py`
- [ ] ngrok running: `ngrok http 8000`
- [ ] `.env` has correct ngrok URL (no trailing slash)
- [ ] Protected resource endpoint returns ngrok URL
- [ ] Auth server metadata has ngrok URL in `registration_endpoint`
- [ ] DCR endpoint returns client credentials
- [ ] **Old connector deleted from ChatGPT**
- [ ] **Waited 2-3 minutes after deletion**

- **Implementation Details:** `OAUTH_IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md`
## Summary
Your server is **100% ready**. The only remaining step is to **delete the old connector in ChatGPT, wait 2-3 minutes, and add it again**.
The cache-control headers ensure this won't happen again in the future! 🎉
