Chess MCP

# Google OAuth 2.1 Implementation - Complete ✅ ## Overview Successfully implemented OAuth 2.1 authentication for the Chess MCP server using Google as the authorization server, enabling secure ChatGPT integration with per-user game state management. ## What Was Implemented ### 1. ✅ Dependencies Added **File: `server/requirements.txt`** Added OAuth and security libraries: - `pyjwt[crypto]` - JWT token verification - `cryptography` - Cryptographic operations - `requests` - HTTP client for API calls - `google-auth` - Google authentication - `google-auth-oauthlib` - Google OAuth flows - `python-dotenv` - Environment variable management ### 2. ✅ OAuth Configuration Module **File: `server/oauth_config.py`** Created centralized OAuth configuration: - Google OAuth credentials from environment variables - MCP server canonical URI - OAuth scopes (openid, email, profile) - Protected resource metadata generation (RFC 9728) - WWW-Authenticate header generation - Configuration validation ### 3. ✅ Authentication Middleware **File: `server/auth_middleware.py`** Implemented JWT token verification: - Extract Bearer tokens from Authorization header - Verify JWT signatures using Google's public keys (JWKS) - Validate token claims (issuer, audience, expiration) - Extract user identity (email, user_id, name) - Attach UserContext to request state - Generate 401 responses with WWW-Authenticate headers - Skip authentication for public endpoints ### 4. ✅ Per-User Game State **File: `server/main.py`** Converted from global to per-user storage: - `user_games` dictionary keyed by user email - Each user gets isolated game state: - `board`: chess.Board instance - `move_history`: list of moves - `player_white`: white player name - `player_black`: black player name - `get_user_game()` helper function ### 5. ✅ OAuth Endpoints **File: `server/main.py`** Implemented RFC-compliant OAuth endpoints: #### Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728) - `GET /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource` - Returns MCP server metadata - Lists authorization servers (Google) - Advertises supported scopes #### Authorization Server Metadata (RFC 8414) - `GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` - Proxies Google's OpenID Connect discovery - Overrides registration_endpoint - Ensures PKCE (S256) is advertised #### Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) - `POST /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server/register` - Returns fixed Google OAuth credentials - Maps ChatGPT's redirect URIs - Follows RFC 7591 response format #### Health Check - `GET /health` - Returns server status - Shows OAuth configuration state ### 6. ✅ Security Schemes on Tools Updated all MCP tools with appropriate security: **Write Operations (OAuth Required):** - `chess_move` - requires OAuth - `chess_reset` - requires OAuth - `chess_puzzle` - requires OAuth **Read Operations (Optional OAuth):** - `chess_status` - works anonymously or authenticated - `chess_stockfish` - works anonymously or authenticated Each tool extracts user context and operates on user-specific state. ### 7. ✅ Middleware Integration **File: `server/main.py`** - Added AuthenticationMiddleware to FastAPI app - Configured CORS for cross-origin requests - Proper middleware ordering (auth → CORS) - Public endpoints exempt from authentication ### 8. ✅ Startup Validation **File: `server/main.py`** Enhanced server startup: - Validates OAuth configuration - Prints OAuth endpoints for verification - Shows helpful warnings if not configured - User-friendly console output ### 9. ✅ Documentation Created comprehensive guides: - **GOOGLE_OAUTH_SETUP.md** - Detailed step-by-step setup guide - **OAUTH_QUICK_START.md** - 5-minute quick start - **ENV_TEMPLATE.md** - Environment variable template - **OAUTH_IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md** - This file ## Architecture ``` ┌─────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐ │ ChatGPT │ │ Google OAuth │ │ (Client) │◄──────────────►│ (Auth Server) │ └─────────────┘ └──────────────────┘ │ │ │ 1.

I'll start with e4" ### For Production - [ ] Deploy to cloud provider (AWS/GCP/Azure) - [ ] Get real domain and SSL certificate - [ ] Implement persistent storage (Redis/PostgreSQL) - [ ] Add rate limiting - [ ] Set up monitoring and logging - [ ] Implement token refresh handling - [ ] Add user session management - [ ] Publish OAuth consent screen - [ ] Set up CDN for assets - [ ] Configure backup and recovery ## Testing Checklist - [ ] Server starts without errors - [ ] OAuth endpoints return valid JSON - [ ] Health check shows oauth_configured: true - [ ] ChatGPT can discover OAuth metadata - [ ] DCR returns client credentials - [ ] Google login flow works - [ ] Authenticated requests succeed - [ ] Token verification works - [ ] Per-user game isolation works - [ ] All 5 tools work with OAuth - [ ] Invalid tokens return 401 - [ ] Expired tokens return 401 - [ ] WWW-Authenticate headers present ## Troubleshooting ChatGPT Connector ### Error: "Doesn't support RFC 7591 Dynamic Client Registration" **Cause:** ChatGPT cached old OAuth metadata when `MCP_SERVER_URL` was set to `localhost:8000` **Solution:** 1. Verify `.env` has correct ngrok URL (not localhost) 2. Restart server to apply new URL 3. **Delete existing connector in ChatGPT** 4. **Wait 2-3 minutes** for cache to clear 5. Add connector again with fresh metadata **Prevention:** Server now includes `Cache-Control: no-cache` headers on all OAuth endpoints ### Verify Endpoints Before Adding Connector Run these tests: ```bash # Should show your ngrok URL curl https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok-free.dev/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource # Should show your ngrok URL in registration_endpoint curl https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok-free.dev/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server | jq .registration_endpoint # Should return client credentials curl -X POST https://your-ngrok-url.ngrok-free.dev/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server/register \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"redirect_uris":["https://chat.openai.com/aip/oauth2/callback"]}' ``` See `CHATGPT_CONNECTOR_TROUBLESHOOTING.md` for detailed troubleshooting steps. ## Known Limitations 1. **In-Memory Storage:** Game state lost on server restart 2. **Single Server:** No load balancing or clustering 3. **Fixed Google Client:** All ChatGPT instances share same OAuth client 4. **No Token Refresh:** Users must re-authenticate when tokens expire 5. **Development Consent Screen:** Limited to test users 6. **ngrok URL Changes:** Free tier generates new URLs frequently 7. **ChatGPT Caching:** May cache OAuth metadata; delete/recreate connector after URL changes ## Future Enhancements - Add Redis for persistent game storage - Implement token refresh logic - Add game history and PGN export - Multi-game support per user - Add WebSocket for real-time updates - Implement ELO ratings - Add game analysis and insights - Support for timed games - Multiplayer matchmaking - Tournament support ## Conclusion The Chess MCP server now supports secure OAuth 2.1 authentication via Google, enabling ChatGPT users to play chess with personalized, isolated game sessions. The implementation follows industry standards and security best practices, providing a solid foundation for production deployment. All code is production-ready pending: 1. Google OAuth credential setup 2. Environment configuration 3. Testing with ChatGPT Happy Chess Playing! ♟️
