This guide shows you how to secure your FastMCP server using **GitHub OAuth**. Since GitHub doesn't support Dynamic Client Registration, this integration uses the [**OAuth Proxy**](/servers/auth/oauth-proxy) pattern to bridge GitHub's traditional OAuth with MCP's authentication requirements.
## Configuration
### Prerequisites
Before you begin, you will need:
1. A **[GitHub Account](https://github.com/)** 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 GitHub OAuth App
Create an OAuth App in your GitHub settings to get the credentials needed for authentication:
<Steps>
<Step title="Navigate to OAuth Apps">
Go to **Settings → Developer settings → OAuth Apps** in your GitHub account, or visit [github.com/settings/developers](https://github.com/settings/developers).
Click **"New OAuth App"** to create a new application.
</Step>
<Step title="Configure Your OAuth App">
Fill in the application details:
- **Application name**: Choose a name users will recognize (e.g., "My FastMCP Server")
- **Homepage URL**: Your application's homepage or documentation URL
- **Authorization callback URL**: Your server URL + `/oauth/callback` (e.g., `http://localhost:8000/oauth/callback`)
<Warning>
The callback URL must match exactly. The default path is `/oauth/callback`, but you can customize it using the `redirect_path` parameter. For local development, GitHub allows `http://localhost` URLs. For production, you must use HTTPS.
</Warning>
<Tip>
If you want to use a custom callback path (e.g., `/auth/github/callback`), make sure to set the same path in both your GitHub OAuth App settings and the `redirect_path` parameter when configuring the GitHubProvider.
</Tip>
</Step>
<Step title="Save Your Credentials">
After creating the app, you'll see:
- **Client ID**: A public identifier like `Ov23liAbcDefGhiJkLmN`
- **Client Secret**: Click "Generate a new client secret" and save the value securely
<Tip>
Store these credentials securely. Never commit them to version control. Use environment variables or a secrets manager in production.
</Tip>
</Step>
</Steps>
### Step 2: FastMCP Configuration
Create your FastMCP server using the `GitHubProvider`, which handles GitHub's OAuth quirks automatically:
```python server.py
from fastmcp import FastMCP
from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.github import GitHubProvider
# The GitHubProvider handles GitHub's token format and validation
auth_provider = GitHubProvider(
client_id="Ov23liAbcDefGhiJkLmN", # Your GitHub OAuth App Client ID
client_secret="github_pat_...", # Your GitHub OAuth App Client Secret
base_url="http://localhost:8000", # Must match your OAuth App configuration
# redirect_path="/oauth/callback" # Default value, customize if needed
)
mcp = FastMCP(name="GitHub 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 GitHub user."""
from fastmcp.server.dependencies import get_access_token
token = get_access_token()
# The GitHubProvider stores user data in token claims
return {
"github_user": token.claims.get("login"),
"name": token.claims.get("name"),
"email": token.claims.get("email")
}
```
## Testing
### Running the Server
Start your FastMCP server with HTTP transport to enable OAuth flows:
```bash
fastmcp run server.py --transport http --port 8000
```
Your server is now running and protected by GitHub OAuth authentication.
### Testing with a Client
Create a test client that authenticates with your GitHub-protected server:
```python test_client.py
from fastmcp import Client
import asyncio
async def main():
# The client will automatically handle GitHub OAuth
async with Client("http://localhost:8000/mcp/", auth="oauth") as client:
# First-time connection will open GitHub login in your browser
print("✓ Authenticated with GitHub!")
# Test the protected tool
result = await client.call_tool("get_user_info")
print(f"GitHub user: {result['github_user']}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
When you run the client for the first time:
1. Your browser will open to GitHub's authorization page
2. After you authorize the app, you'll be redirected back
3. The client receives the token and can make authenticated requests
<Info>
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.
</Info>
## Environment Variables
For production deployments, use environment variables instead of hardcoding credentials.
<Info>
To use the registered GitHub provider, you must set `FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH=GITHUB`. Learn more about [registered providers](/servers/auth/authentication#registered-providers).
</Info>
### Provider Selection
<ParamField path="FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH" default="Not set" required>
Set to `GITHUB` to use the registered GitHubProvider with default configuration.
</ParamField>
### GitHub-Specific Configuration
<Card>
<ParamField path="FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID" required>
Your GitHub OAuth App Client ID (e.g., `Ov23liAbcDefGhiJkLmN`)
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET" required>
Your GitHub OAuth App Client Secret
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_BASE_URL" default="http://localhost:8000">
Public URL of your FastMCP server for OAuth callbacks
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_REDIRECT_PATH" default="/oauth/callback">
Redirect path configured in your GitHub OAuth App
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_REQUIRED_SCOPES" default='["user"]'>
Comma-separated list of required GitHub scopes (e.g., `user,repo`)
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_TIMEOUT_SECONDS" default="10">
HTTP request timeout for GitHub API calls
</ParamField>
</Card>
Example `.env` file:
```bash
# Use the registered GitHub provider
FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH=GITHUB
# GitHub OAuth credentials
FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=Ov23liAbcDefGhiJkLmN
FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=github_pat_...
FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com
FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH_GITHUB_REQUIRED_SCOPES=user,repo
```
With environment variables set, your server code simplifies to:
```python server.py
from fastmcp import FastMCP
# Authentication is automatically configured from environment
mcp = FastMCP(name="GitHub Secured App")
@mcp.tool
async def list_repos() -> list[str]:
"""List the authenticated user's repositories."""
# Your tool implementation here
pass
```

import { VersionBadge } from "/snippets/version-badge.mdx"
<VersionBadge version="2.12.0" />
This guide shows you how to secure your FastMCP server using **Google OAuth**. Since Google doesn't support Dynamic Client Registration, this integration uses the [**OAuth Proxy**](/servers/auth/oauth-proxy) pattern to bridge Google's traditional OAuth with MCP's authentication requirements.
## Configuration
### Prerequisites
Before you begin, you will need:
1. A **[Google Cloud Account](https://console.cloud.google.com/)** with access to create OAuth 2.0 Client IDs
2. Your FastMCP server's URL (can be localhost for development, e.g., `http://localhost:8000`)
### Step 1: Create a Google OAuth 2.0 Client ID
Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID in your Google Cloud Console to get the credentials needed for authentication:
<Steps>
<Step title="Navigate to OAuth Consent Screen">
Go to the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) and select your project (or create a new one).
First, configure the OAuth consent screen by navigating to **APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen**. Choose "External" for testing or "Internal" for G Suite organizations.
</Step>
<Step title="Create OAuth 2.0 Client ID">
Navigate to **APIs & Services → Credentials** and click **"+ CREATE CREDENTIALS"** → **"OAuth client ID"**.
Configure your OAuth client:
- **Application type**: Web application
- **Name**: Choose a descriptive name (e.g., "FastMCP Server")
- **Authorized JavaScript origins**: Add your server's base URL (e.g., `http://localhost:8000`)
- **Authorized redirect URIs**: Add your server URL + `/oauth/callback` (e.g., `http://localhost:8000/oauth/callback`)
<Warning>
The redirect URI must match exactly. The default path is `/oauth/callback`, but you can customize it using the `redirect_path` parameter. For local development, Google allows `http://localhost` URLs with various ports. For production, you must use HTTPS.
</Warning>
<Tip>
If you want to use a custom callback path (e.g., `/auth/google/callback`), make sure to set the same path in both your Google OAuth Client settings and the `redirect_path` parameter when configuring the GoogleProvider.
</Tip>
</Step>
<Step title="Save Your Credentials">
After creating the client, you'll receive:
- **Client ID**: A string ending in `.apps.googleusercontent.com`
- **Client Secret**: A string starting with `GOCSPX-`
Download the JSON credentials or copy these values securely.
<Tip>
Store these credentials securely. Never commit them to version control. Use environment variables or a secrets manager in production.
</Tip>
</Step>
</Steps>
### Step 2: FastMCP Configuration
Create your FastMCP server using the `GoogleProvider`, which handles Google's OAuth flow automatically:
```python server.py
from fastmcp import FastMCP
from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.google import GoogleProvider
# The GoogleProvider handles Google's token format and validation
auth_provider = GoogleProvider(
client_id="123456789.apps.googleusercontent.com", # Your Google OAuth Client ID
client_secret="GOCSPX-abc123...", # Your Google OAuth Client Secret
base_url="http://localhost:8000", # Must match your OAuth configuration
required_scopes=["openid", "email", "profile"], # Request user information
# redirect_path="/oauth/callback" # Default value, customize if needed
)
mcp = FastMCP(name="Google 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 Google user."""
from fastmcp.server.dependencies import get_access_token
token = get_access_token()
# The GoogleProvider stores user data in token claims
return {
"google_id": token.claims.get("sub"),
"email": token.claims.get("email"),
"name": token.claims.get("name"),
"picture": token.claims.get("picture"),
"locale": token.claims.get("locale")
}
```
## Testing
### Running the Server
Start your FastMCP server with HTTP transport to enable OAuth flows:
```bash
fastmcp run server.py --transport http --port 8000
```
Your server is now running and protected by Google OAuth authentication.
### Testing with a Client
Create a test client that authenticates with your Google-protected server:
```python test_client.py
from fastmcp import Client
import asyncio
async def main():
# The client will automatically handle Google OAuth
async with Client("http://localhost:8000/mcp/", auth="oauth") as client:
# First-time connection will open Google login in your browser
print("✓ Authenticated with Google!")
# Test the protected tool
result = await client.call_tool("get_user_info")
print(f"Google user: {result['email']}")
print(f"Name: {result['name']}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
When you run the client for the first time:
1. Your browser will open to Google's authorization page
2. Sign in with your Google 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
<Info>
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.
</Info>
## Environment Variables
For production deployments, use environment variables instead of hardcoding credentials.
<Info>
To use the registered Google provider, you must set `FASTMCP_SERVER_AUTH=GOOGLE`. Learn more about [registered providers](/servers/auth/authentication#registered-providers).
