Why @mcpauth/auth?

Own Your Data and Your Authentication

With @mcpauth/auth, you host the server, you own the data. No separate authorization server. No vendor lock-in.

Required for Modern MCP Clients

Major MCP clients like OpenAI's ChatGPT require OAuth 2.0 for authenticating users and authorizing access to tools and resources. @mcpauth/auth provides the compliant, secure server you need to integrate with these modern clients.

Seamlessly Integrate Your Existing Auth

The biggest challenge with adopting a new authentication system is integrating it with your existing user management. @mcpauth/auth solves this with a single, powerful function: authenticateUser.

This function allows you to plug in any existing authentication logic. Whether your users are authenticated via a session cookie, a bearer token, or an external system, you can validate them and link them to the OAuth flow with just a few lines of code.

For example, if you're using @auth/express for session management, your implementation is as simple as this:

authenticateUser: async (request: Request) => { // Grab the user's existing session from a cookie const session = await getSession(request, authConfig); // Return the user object if they are authenticated, or null if not return (session?.user as OAuthUser) ?? null; },

This flexibility means you can add a compliant MCP OAuth layer to your application without rebuilding your entire authentication stack.

Note for ChatGPT Deep Research Connectors

ChatGPT's Deep Research Custom Connector is a new feature that allows you to use OpenAI's ChatGPT with your own data. It's a great way to get started with MCP, and requires an OAuth 2.0 server to authenticate users and authorize access to tools and resources.

@mcpauth/auth provides the compliant, secure server you need to integrate with ChatGPT's Deep Research Custom Connector.

There are a few issues with ChatGPT's Custom Connectors (across all MCP servers). They have been actively fixing many of these issues, but some remain. For example, after adding a new custom connector, you'll frequently get a "This connector does not implement our schema" error. This is a known issue, and refreshing your page often fixes it.
