JWT & Base64 Decoder MCP Server
An essential cybersecurity and debugging Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers AI agents to safely parse, decode, and inspect JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and Base64 encoded payloads in real-time.
Why AI Agents Need Native Decoding
When an autonomous agent is debugging an authentication failure or analyzing a network trace, it frequently encounters JWTs and Base64 encoded strings. LLMs cannot natively decode Base64. Because tokenizers break Base64 strings into meaningless sub-word tokens, the AI cannot "read" the underlying payload. If an LLM attempts to guess the contents of a JWT based on the encoded string, it relies purely on hallucination.
The Solution: Deterministic Inspection
The JWT & Base64 Decoder MCP solves this critical blind spot. By passing the encoded string to this server, the agent receives the exact, deterministically parsed JSON header, payload, and signature metadata. This allows the AI to accurately diagnose token expiration, scope issues, and malformed claims without guessing.

Tool Capabilities
decode_jwtFunction: Safely parses a JWT, returning the decoded header and payload (claims) without verifying the signature (safe for inspection).
Use Case: Debugging OAuth flows, identifying expired tokens (
expclaim), and auditing user roles.
decode_base64Function: Strictly decodes Base64/Base64URL strings back into UTF-8 text or hex representation.
