# Automatic OAuth Flow This document describes the automatic OAuth authentication flow implemented in PR #[number]. ## Problem Previously, users had to manually copy and paste authorization codes from the OAuth callback page back to the MCP client, which was cumbersome and error-prone. ## Solution The OAuth callback server now automatically submits the authorization code back to itself, allowing the authentication to complete transparently. ### How It Works 1. **User initiates authentication** ``` authenticate_workspace_account email="user@example.com" ``` 2. **Server returns auth URL** - The callback server is already listening on localhost:8080 - User clicks the auth URL to open Google sign-in 3. **User authorizes in browser** - Google redirects to `http://localhost:8080/?code=AUTH_CODE` - The callback page automatically POSTs the code to `/complete-auth` 4. **Automatic completion** - User calls `complete_workspace_auth email="user@example.com"` - This waits for the callback server to receive the code - Authentication completes automatically ### Fallback Mode For compatibility, the manual flow still works: - Set `auto_complete=false` in authenticate_workspace_account - Copy the code from the success page - Provide it with `auth_code` parameter ### Technical Details - Added `/complete-auth` endpoint to callback server - JavaScript in the success page automatically submits the code - The `complete_workspace_auth` tool waits for the promise to resolve - 2-minute timeout prevents hanging ### User Experience The new flow shows: 1. "Authentication initiated" message 2. Success page with "Completing authentication automatically..." 3. No manual code copying required
