Implementation Reference
- src/services/authService.js:20-62 (handler)The handler function that initiates the GitHub OAuth authentication flow using PKCE. Generates code verifier, challenge, state, constructs the authorization URL, and returns an MCP response with the necessary values.
async function startAuth() { try { // Generate PKCE values const codeVerifier = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString("base64url"); const codeChallenge = crypto .createHash("sha256") .update(codeVerifier) .digest("base64url"); // Generate state for security const state = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString("base64url"); // Create authorization URL with PKCE const authUrl = new URL(`${AUTH_API_BASE_URL}/authorize`); authUrl.searchParams.set("client_id", "pollinations-mcp"); authUrl.searchParams.set( "redirect_uri", "http://localhost:3000/callback", ); authUrl.searchParams.set("response_type", "code"); authUrl.searchParams.set("code_challenge", codeChallenge); authUrl.searchParams.set("code_challenge_method", "S256"); authUrl.searchParams.set("state", state); authUrl.searchParams.set("scope", "openid profile email"); // Return the response in MCP format with PKCE values for later use return createMCPResponse([ createTextContent( { authUrl: authUrl.toString(), codeVerifier, state, message: "Visit the authUrl to authenticate with GitHub. Save the codeVerifier and state for token exchange.", }, true, ), ]); } catch (error) { console.error("Error starting authentication:", error); throw error; } } - src/services/authService.js:290-296 (registration)The registration of the 'startAuth' tool in the authTools array, which is exported for use with MCP server.tool().
