### Host and Origin Protection
-FastMCP validates `Host` and browser `Origin` headers for Streamable HTTP requests by default. This protects localhost-bound servers from DNS rebinding attacks and rejects browser requests from origins you have not trusted.
+FastMCP validates `Host` and browser `Origin` headers for Streamable HTTP requests automatically where it can infer a safe request boundary. This protects localhost-bound servers from DNS rebinding attacks while letting ASGI, serverless, and reverse-proxy deployments provide their public hostnames explicitly.
Think of this as a request guard rather than CORS middleware. It decides whether a request can reach MCP session handling. CORS remains a separate browser response-header policy; configure CORS middleware separately when browser JavaScript must read cross-origin responses.

### Host and Origin Protection
-FastMCP validates `Host` and browser `Origin` headers for Streamable HTTP requests automatically where it can infer a safe request boundary. This protects localhost-bound servers from DNS rebinding attacks while letting ASGI, serverless, and reverse-proxy deployments provide their public hostnames explicitly.
+FastMCP can validate `Host` and browser `Origin` headers for Streamable HTTP requests before they reach MCP session handling. This request guard protects localhost-bound servers from DNS rebinding attacks, and it remains opt-in in FastMCP 3.x to preserve compatibility with existing ASGI, serverless, and reverse-proxy deployments.
Think of this as a request guard rather than CORS middleware. It decides whether a request can reach MCP session handling. CORS remains a separate browser response-header policy; configure CORS middleware separately when browser JavaScript must read cross-origin responses.
-When you deploy behind a public hostname, add the hostname clients use to reach your MCP endpoint. This enables strict Host validation for that deployment. If a browser-based MCP client runs on a separate origin, add that origin as well:

+Use `host_origin_protection="auto"` to protect localhost-bound direct servers while allowing ASGI, serverless, and reverse-proxy deployments to keep their existing Host handling unless they configure explicit trust rules. Use `host_origin_protection=False` to keep the request guard disabled.

+title: Hugging Face OAuth π€ FastMCP
+sidebarTitle: Hugging Face
+description: Secure your FastMCP server with Hugging Face OAuth
+icon: hugging-face
+iconType: brands
+---
+
+import { VersionBadge } from "/snippets/version-badge.mdx"
+
+
+
+This guide shows you how to secure your FastMCP server using **Hugging Face OAuth**.
+The `HuggingFaceProvider` uses FastMCP's [OAuth Proxy](/servers/auth/oauth-proxy)
+pattern with Hugging Face's OAuth and OpenID Connect endpoints. It works with
+manually created confidential apps, public PKCE apps, and Client ID Metadata
+Documents (CIMD).
+
+When deploying your MCP server to Hugging Face Spaces, Spaces can create and
+manage the OAuth app for you.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, you will need:
+
+1. A **[Hugging Face account](https://huggingface.co/join)** with access to create OAuth apps
+2. Your FastMCP server's URL (can be localhost for development, e.g., `http://localhost:8000`)
+
+### Step 1: Create a Hugging Face OAuth app
+
+Create an OAuth app from your [Hugging Face application settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/applications/new).
+For details, see Hugging Face's [OAuth documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/oauth).
+
+
+
+ Go to your [Hugging Face application settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/applications/new)
+ and create a new OAuth application.
+
+ Choose a name users will recognize, then configure the redirect URL for
+ your FastMCP server:
+
+ - Development: `http://localhost:8000/auth/callback`
+ - Production: `https://your-domain.com/auth/callback`
+
+
+ The redirect URL must match exactly. The default path is `/auth/callback`,
+ but you can customize it using the `redirect_path` parameter. For
+ production, use HTTPS.
+
+
+
+
+ After creating the app, save:
+
+ - **Client ID**: The public identifier for your Hugging Face OAuth app
+ - **Client Secret**: The app secret, if you created a confidential app
+
+
+ Store the client secret securely. Never commit it to version control. Use
+ environment variables or a secrets manager in production.
+
+
+
+
+### Step 2: Configure FastMCP
+
+```python server.py
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
+from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.huggingface import HuggingFaceProvider
+
+# The HuggingFaceProvider handles Hugging Face's opaque OAuth access tokens
+# and stores user data in token claims.
+auth_provider = HuggingFaceProvider(
+ client_id="your-huggingface-client-id", # Your Hugging Face OAuth app client ID
+ client_secret="your-huggingface-client-secret", # Your Hugging Face OAuth app client secret
+ base_url="http://localhost:8000", # Must match your OAuth configuration
+ required_scopes=["openid", "profile"], # Default value
+ # redirect_path="/auth/callback" # Default value, customize if needed
+)
+
+mcp = FastMCP(name="Hugging Face Secured App", auth=auth_provider)
+
+
+# Add a protected tool to test authentication
+@mcp.tool
+async def get_user_info() -> dict:
+ """Returns information about the authenticated Hugging Face user."""
+ from fastmcp.server.dependencies import get_access_token
+
+ token = get_access_token()
+ return {
+ "subject": token.claims.get("sub"),
+ "username": token.claims.get("preferred_username"),
+ "profile": token.claims.get("profile"),
+ }
+```
+
+## Public OAuth apps, DCR, and CIMD
+
+Hugging Face supports public OAuth apps (no client secret). For public apps,
+omit `client_secret` and provide a `jwt_signing_key` so FastMCP can sign its
+own proxy tokens:
+
+```python
+auth_provider = HuggingFaceProvider(
+ client_id="your-public-huggingface-client-id",
+ base_url="http://localhost:8000",
+ jwt_signing_key="replace-with-a-secure-secret",
+)
+```
+
+MCP clients can use Dynamic Client Registration with your FastMCP server. The
+`HuggingFaceProvider` inherits FastMCP's OAuth Proxy behavior, which handles
+client registration locally and forwards authorization to Hugging Face using
+your configured Hugging Face OAuth app. In other words, MCP clients register
+with FastMCP, while FastMCP uses your Hugging Face `client_id` and optional
+`client_secret` for the upstream OAuth flow.
+
+You can also use a Client ID Metadata Document URL as the `client_id` when your
+client metadata is hosted at a stable HTTPS URL:
+
+```python
+auth_provider = HuggingFaceProvider(
+ client_id="https://your-client.example/.well-known/oauth-cimd",
+ base_url="http://localhost:8000",
+ jwt_signing_key="replace-with-a-secure-secret",
+)
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Running the Server
+
+Start your server with HTTP transport:
+
+```bash
+fastmcp run server.py --transport http --port 8000
+```
+
+Your server is now running and protected by Hugging Face OAuth authentication.
+
+### Testing with a Client
+
+Create a test client that authenticates with your Hugging Face-protected server:
+
+```python test_client.py
+import asyncio
+from fastmcp import Client
+
+
+async def main():
+ async with Client("http://localhost:8000/mcp", auth="oauth") as client:
+ result = await client.call_tool("get_user_info")
+ print(result)
+
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+ asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+When you run the client for the first time:
+
+1. Your browser will open to Hugging Face's authorization page
+2. Sign in with your Hugging Face account and grant the requested permissions
+3. After authorization, you'll be redirected back
+4. The client receives the token and can make authenticated requests
+
+
+The client caches tokens locally, so you won't need to re-authenticate for
+subsequent runs unless the token expires or you explicitly clear the cache.
+
+
+## Hugging Face Spaces
+
+When deploying to [Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-oauth),
+Spaces can create and manage the OAuth app for you. Add OAuth metadata to your
+Space README:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: FastMCP Hugging Face OAuth
+sdk: docker
+hf_oauth: true
+hf_oauth_expiration_minutes: 480
+hf_oauth_scopes:
+ - email
+ - inference-api
+---
+```
+
+Spaces provide `OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`, `OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET`, `OAUTH_SCOPES`,
+`OPENID_PROVIDER_URL`, and `SPACE_HOST` environment variables:
+
+```python
+import os
+
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
+from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.huggingface import HuggingFaceProvider
+from fastmcp.utilities.auth import parse_scopes
+
+base_url = f"https://{os.environ['SPACE_HOST']}"
+
+auth_provider = HuggingFaceProvider(
+ client_id=os.environ["OAUTH_CLIENT_ID"],
+ client_secret=os.environ["OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET"],
+ base_url=base_url,
+ jwt_signing_key=os.environ["JWT_SIGNING_KEY"],
+ required_scopes=parse_scopes(os.environ.get("OAUTH_SCOPES")) or ["openid", "profile"],
+)
+
+mcp = FastMCP(name="Hugging Face Space App", auth=auth_provider)
+```
+
+Set `JWT_SIGNING_KEY` as a Space secret.
+
+## Hugging Face scopes
+
+The default scopes are `openid` and `profile`. Add more scopes when your tools
+need Hub capabilities:
+
+| Scope | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `email` | Access the user's email address |
+| `read-billing` | Know whether the user has a payment method set up |
+| `read-repos` | Read the user's personal repositories |
+| `gated-repos` | Read public gated repositories the user can access |
+| `contribute-repos` | Create repositories and access app-created repositories |
+| `write-repos` | Read and write the user's personal repositories |
+| `manage-repos` | Full repository access, including creation and deletion |
+| `read-collections` | Read the user's personal collections |
+| `write-collections` | Read and write the user's personal collections, including collection creation and deletion |
+| `inference-api` | Use Hugging Face Inference Providers as the user |
+| `jobs` | Run Hugging Face Jobs |
+| `webhooks` | Manage webhooks |
+| `write-discussions` | Open discussions and pull requests, and interact with discussions |
+
+```python
+auth_provider = HuggingFaceProvider(
+ client_id="your-huggingface-client-id",
+ client_secret="your-huggingface-client-secret",
+ base_url="https://your-domain.com",
+ required_scopes=["openid", "profile", "inference-api", "jobs"],
+)
+```
+
+For organization resources, use Hugging Face's normal OAuth organization grant
+flow. If you need a specific organization, pass Hugging Face's `orgIds`
+authorization parameter. The value is the organization ID from the
+`organizations.sub` field in the Hugging Face userinfo response:
+
+```python
+auth_provider = HuggingFaceProvider(
+ client_id="your-huggingface-client-id",
+ client_secret="your-huggingface-client-secret",
+ base_url="https://your-domain.com",
+ extra_authorize_params={"orgIds": "your-org-id"},
+)
+```
+
+## Production Configuration
+
+For production deployments with persistent token management across server
+restarts, configure `jwt_signing_key` and `client_storage`:
+
+```python server.py
+import os
+from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
+from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.huggingface import HuggingFaceProvider
+from key_value.aio.stores.redis import RedisStore
+from key_value.aio.wrappers.encryption import FernetEncryptionWrapper
+
+# Production setup with encrypted persistent token storage
+auth_provider = HuggingFaceProvider(
+ client_id="your-huggingface-client-id",
+ client_secret=os.environ["HUGGINGFACE_CLIENT_SECRET"],
+ base_url="https://your-production-domain.com",
+ required_scopes=["openid", "profile", "email"],
+
+ # Production token management
+ jwt_signing_key=os.environ["JWT_SIGNING_KEY"],
+ client_storage=FernetEncryptionWrapper(
+ key_value=RedisStore(
+ host=os.environ["REDIS_HOST"],
+ port=int(os.environ["REDIS_PORT"])
+ ),
+ fernet=Fernet(os.environ["STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY"])
+ )
+)
+
+mcp = FastMCP(name="Production Hugging Face App", auth=auth_provider)
+```
+
+
+Parameters (`jwt_signing_key` and `client_storage`) work together to ensure
+tokens and client registrations survive server restarts. **Wrap your storage in
+`FernetEncryptionWrapper` to encrypt sensitive OAuth tokens at rest** - without
+it, tokens are stored in plaintext. Store secrets in environment variables and
+use a persistent storage backend like Redis for distributed deployments.
+
+For complete details on these parameters, see the [OAuth Proxy documentation](/servers/auth/oauth-proxy#configuration-parameters).

+ - Set Authorization callback URL to: `http://localhost:8000/auth/callback`
+ - Copy the Client ID and Client Secret
+
+2. Set environment variables:
+
+ ```bash
+ export FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_HF_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
+ export FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_HF_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
+ ```
+
+3. Run the server:
+
+ ```bash
+ python server.py
+ ```
+
+4. In another terminal, run the client:
+
+ ```bash
+ python client.py
+ ```
+
+The client will open your browser for Hugging Face authentication.

+**[v3.4.4: Host in Translation](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/releases/tag/v3.4.4)**
+
+FastMCP 3.4.4 restores HTTP deployment compatibility after the 3.4.3 Host/Origin guard changed default behavior for existing ASGI, serverless, and reverse-proxy deployments. The guard implementation remains available for deployments that opt in with explicit trusted hosts and origins, while 3.x returns to accepting traffic that worked before the patch. This release also adds Hugging Face OAuth provider support, with docs and examples for public and private apps, PKCE, Dynamic Client Registration, and CIMD.
+

+A compatibility patch for HTTP deployments affected by the 3.4.3 Host/Origin guard defaults. FastMCP 3.x now keeps strict Host and Origin validation available for explicit opt-in deployments without rejecting existing ASGI, serverless, and reverse-proxy traffic by default.
+
+π **HTTP compatibility restored** β existing hosted deployments keep accepting their public Host headers unless strict host/origin protection is configured.
+
+π **Guard remains available** β deployments that know their public host and browser origins can still enable strict validation with `host_origin_protection=True`, `allowed_hosts`, and `allowed_origins`.
+
+π€ **Hugging Face auth** β new OAuth provider support covers public and private Hugging Face apps, with docs and examples for PKCE, Dynamic Client Registration, and CIMD.
