# open-mcp-auth-proxy
Authentication and Authorization Proxy for MCP Servers
## Overview
OpenMCPAuthProxy is a security middleware that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Authorization Specification (2025-03-26). It functions as a proxy between clients and MCP servers, providing robust authentication and authorization capabilities. The proxy intercepts incoming requests, validates authentication tokens, and forwards only authorized requests to the underlying MCP server, enhancing the security posture of your MCP deployment.
## Setup and Installation
### Prerequisites
- Go 1.20 or higher
- A running MCP server (SSE transport supported)
### Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/wso2/open-mcp-auth-proxy
cd open-mcp-auth-proxy
go build -o openmcpauthproxy ./cmd/proxy
```
## Configuration
Create a configuration file `config.yaml` with the following parameters:
```yaml
mcp_server_base_url: "http://localhost:8000" # URL of your MCP server
listen_address: ":8080" # Address where the proxy will listen
```
## Usage Example
### 1. Start the MCP Server
Create a file named `echo_server.py`:
```python
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
mcp = FastMCP("Echo")
@mcp.resource("echo://{message}")
def echo_resource(message: str) -> str:
"""Echo a message as a resource"""
return f"Resource echo: {message}"
@mcp.tool()
def echo_tool(message: str) -> str:
"""Echo a message as a tool"""
return f"Tool echo: {message}"
@mcp.prompt()
def echo_prompt(message: str) -> str:
"""Create an echo prompt"""
return f"Please process this message: {message}"
if __name__ == "__main__":
mcp.run(transport="sse")
```
Run the server:
```bash
python3 echo_server.py
```
### 2. Start the Auth Proxy
```bash
./openmcpauthproxy --demo
```
The `--demo` flag enables a demonstration mode with pre-configured authentication with asgardeo.
### 3. Connect Using an MCP Client
You can use the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector) to test the connection:
