MCP Memory Service - TypeScript

# OAuth 2.0 Provider Implementation Summary **Project**: mcp-memory-ts **Feature**: OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server for Claude.AI Custom Connector Integration **Date**: 2025-10-20 **Status**: ✅ Complete - Ready for Testing ## Overview Successfully implemented a complete OAuth 2.0 authorization server that enables Claude.AI (and other OAuth clients) to securely access the MCP Memory service. The implementation follows OAuth 2.0 RFC 6749 standards and integrates seamlessly with the existing Clerk authentication system. ## Implementation Summary ### ✅ Phase 1: Database Schema **Files Created**: - `scripts/create-oauth-tables.ts` - Migration script with dry-run support **Database Tables**: 1. `oauth_clients` - Registered OAuth applications (client_id, client_secret, redirect_uris, scopes) 2. `oauth_authorization_codes` - Temporary auth codes (10-minute expiry, single-use) 3. `oauth_access_tokens` - Long-lived access tokens (7-day expiry) 4. `oauth_refresh_tokens` - Refresh tokens for token renewal (30-day expiry) **Features**: - Comprehensive indexes for performance - Foreign key constraints for data integrity - Support for PKCE (code_challenge fields) - Automatic expiry tracking - Token revocation support **NPM Scripts**: ```bash npm run migrate:oauth # Execute migration npm run migrate:oauth:dry-run # Preview migration ``` ### ✅ Phase 2: OAuth Utility Functions **File Created**: `src/utils/oauth.ts` **Implemented Functions**: **Token Generation**: - `generateClientCredentials()` - Create client_id and client_secret - `generateAuthorizationCode()` - Create temporary auth code - `generateAccessToken()` - Create long-lived access token - `generateRefreshToken()` - Create refresh token **Security Functions**: - `hashSecret()` - Bcrypt password hashing (10 rounds) - `compareSecret()` - Secure secret comparison **Validation Functions**: - `validateClientCredentials()` - Verify client_id and client_secret - `validateAuthorizationCode()` - Verify and consume auth code (single-use) - `validateAccessToken()` - Verify access token validity - `validateRedirectUri()` - Ensure redirect URI is registered **Database Operations**: - `storeOAuthClient()` - Register new OAuth client - `storeAuthorizationCode()` - Save authorization code - `storeAccessToken()` - Save access token - `storeRefreshToken()` - Save refresh token - `getOAuthClient()` - Retrieve client information - `revokeAccessToken()` - Revoke compromised tokens - `cleanupExpiredTokens()` - Remove expired data **Security Features**: - Cryptographically secure random generation (crypto.randomBytes) - Bcrypt for secret hashing - Token prefixes for easy identification (mcp_at_, auth_, mcp_rt_) - Configurable expiry times ### ✅ Phase 3: Authorization Endpoint **File Created**: `web/app/api/oauth/authorize/route.ts` **Endpoint**: `GET /api/oauth/authorize` **Query Parameters**: - `response_type` - Must be "code" (authorization code flow) - `client_id` - OAuth client identifier - `redirect_uri` - Callback URL - `scope` - Requested permissions (optional, defaults to "memories:read memories:write") - `state` - CSRF protection token (required) **Flow**: 1. Validate required parameters 2. Validate client_id exists and is active 3. Validate redirect_uri matches registered URIs 4. Check user authentication (Clerk) 5. Redirect to login if not authenticated 6. Redirect to consent screen if authenticated **Error Responses**: - `invalid_request` - Missing/invalid parameters - `unsupported_response_type` - Only "code" supported - `invalid_client` - Unknown client_id - `unauthorized_client` - Inactive client ### ✅ Phase 4: Token Endpoint **File Created**: `web/app/api/oauth/token/route.ts` **Endpoint**: `POST /api/oauth/token` **Content-Type**: `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` **Grant Types**: **1. Authorization Code Grant**: ``` grant_type=authorization_code code=<authorization_code> redirect_uri=<callback_url> client_id=<client_id> client_secret=<client_secret> ``` **2. Refresh Token Grant**: ``` grant_type=refresh_token refresh_token=<refresh_token> client_id=<client_id> client_secret=<client_secret> ``` **Success Response**: ```json { "access_token": "mcp_at_...", "token_type": "Bearer", "expires_in": 604800, "refresh_token": "mcp_rt_...", "scope": "memories:read memories:write" } ``` **Validation**: - Client credentials verification - Authorization code validation (single-use, expiry check) - Redirect URI matching - Refresh token validation ### ✅ Phase 5: Consent Screen UI **Files Created**: - `web/app/oauth/consent/page.tsx` - User interface - `web/app/api/oauth/consent/approve/route.ts` - Backend handler **Features**: - Modern, responsive UI with Tailwind CSS - Clear permission display with icons - User information display - Approve/Deny actions - Loading states and error handling - Security warnings - CSRF protection via state parameter **Scope Display**: - 📖 `memories:read` - Read your memories and related data - ✏️ `memories:write` - Create, update, and delete your memories - 👥 `entities:read` - Read your entities (people, organizations, projects) - 👤 `entities:write` - Create, update, and delete your entities **User Flow**: 1. User arrives at consent screen 2. Sees application name and requested permissions 3. Reviews current logged-in account 4. Approves or denies authorization 5. Redirected back to client with code or error ### ✅ Phase 6: Enhanced Auth Middleware **File Modified**: `src/middleware/mcp-auth.ts` **New Function**: `verifyOAuthToken()` - Validates OAuth access tokens - Extracts user information from database - Returns AuthenticatedUser object **Updated Function**: `authenticateRequest()` - Now supports three authentication methods: 1. Session tokens (existing) 2. OAuth access tokens (new - prefix: mcp_at_) 3. Clerk Bearer tokens (existing) **Token Detection**: ```typescript // Automatically detects token type by prefix if (token.startsWith('mcp_at_')) { // OAuth access token return verifyOAuthToken(token); } else { // Clerk token return verifyClerkToken(token); } ``` **Backward Compatibility**: All existing Clerk authentication flows continue to work unchanged. ### ✅ Phase 7: Client Registration Tool **File Created**: `scripts/register-oauth-client.ts` **NPM Script**: `npm run oauth:register-client` **Interactive CLI Features**: - Prompts for client name - Accepts multiple redirect URIs (comma-separated) - Configurable scopes - User ID assignment - Confirmation before registration - Secure credential display (shown once) - Configuration output for Claude.AI **Example Output**: ``` Client ID: mcp_oauth_a1b2c3d4e5f6... Client Secret: 7890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456... Configuration for Claude.AI Custom Connector: Authorization URL: https://your-domain.com/api/oauth/authorize Token URL: https://your-domain.com/api/oauth/token Client ID: mcp_oauth_... Client Secret: ... Scopes: memories:read memories:write ``` ### ✅ Phase 8: Comprehensive Documentation **Files Created**: 1. **`docs/guides/OAUTH_SETUP_GUIDE.md`** (Comprehensive) - Complete setup instructions - Architecture overview - Database schema details - Client registration process - Claude.AI configuration - Testing procedures - Security considerations - Troubleshooting guide - Advanced topics (PKCE, custom scopes, revocation) 2. **`docs/guides/OAUTH_QUICK_START.md`** (Quick Reference) - 5-minute setup guide - Step-by-step commands - Quick troubleshooting - Architecture diagram - File structure reference 3. **`OAUTH_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md`** (This file) - Implementation overview - Feature summary - Testing guide - Deployment checklist ### ✅ Phase 9: Testing Infrastructure **File Created**: `scripts/test-oauth-flow.ts` **NPM Script**: `npm run oauth:test-flow` **Test Coverage**: - Client registration - Authorization code generation and storage - Authorization code validation - Authorization code single-use enforcement - Access token generation and storage - Access token validation - Automatic cleanup of test data **Test Output**: ``` ✅ All OAuth Flow Tests Passed!

Unit Tests Test OAuth utilities in isolation: ```bash npm run oauth:test-flow ``` **Expected**: All tests pass, cleanup successful ### 2. Manual Testing #### Step 1: Setup Database ```bash npm run migrate:oauth ``` #### Step 2: Register Test Client ```bash npm run oauth:register-client ``` Provide test values: - Name: "Test Client" - Redirect URIs: "http://localhost:3000/callback" - Scopes: "memories:read,memories:write" - User ID: [Your Clerk user ID] Save the client_id and client_secret. #### Step 3: Test Authorization Flow **Manual Browser Flow**: 1. Open in browser (replace placeholders): ``` http://localhost:3002/api/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=mcp_oauth_...&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/callback&scope=memories:read%20memories:write&state=test123 ``` 2. Expected flow: - Redirects to Clerk login (if not authenticated) - Shows consent screen - Approve → redirects to callback with code - URL will be: `http://localhost:3000/callback?code=auth_...&state=test123` #### Step 4: Test Token Exchange Exchange the authorization code for an access token: ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/api/oauth/token \ -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ -d "grant_type=authorization_code" \ -d "code=auth_..." \ -d "redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/callback" \ -d "client_id=mcp_oauth_..." \ -d "client_secret=..." ``` **Expected Response**: ```json { "access_token": "mcp_at_...", "token_type": "Bearer", "expires_in": 604800, "refresh_token": "mcp_rt_...", "scope": "memories:read memories:write" } ``` #### Step 5: Test MCP Request with OAuth Token Use the access token to call MCP endpoints: ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/api/mcp \ -H "Authorization: Bearer mcp_at_..." \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' ``` **Expected**: Valid MCP response with tools list. #### Step 6: Test Token Refresh Use the refresh token to get a new access token: ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/api/oauth/token \ -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ -d "grant_type=refresh_token" \ -d "refresh_token=mcp_rt_..." \ -d "client_id=mcp_oauth_..." \ -d "client_secret=..." ``` **Expected**: New access token returned. ### 3.
