# `fastmcp.server.auth.providers.github`
GitHub OAuth provider for FastMCP.
This module provides a complete GitHub OAuth integration that's ready to use
with just a client ID and client secret. It handles all the complexity of
GitHub's OAuth flow, token validation, and user management.
Example:
```python
from fastmcp import FastMCP
from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.github import GitHubDCRProvider
# Simple GitHub OAuth protection
auth = GitHubDCRProvider(
client_id="your-github-client-id",
client_secret="your-github-client-secret"
)
mcp = FastMCP("My Protected Server", auth=auth)
```
## Classes
### `GitHubDCRProviderSettings`
Settings for GitHub OAuth DCR provider.
**Methods:**
#### `settings_customise_sources`
```python
settings_customise_sources(cls, settings_cls, init_settings, env_settings, dotenv_settings, file_secret_settings)
```
### `GitHubTokenVerifier`
Token verifier for GitHub OAuth tokens.
GitHub OAuth tokens are opaque (not JWTs), so we verify them
by calling GitHub's API to check if they're valid and get user info.
**Methods:**
#### `verify_token`
```python
verify_token(self, token: str) -> AccessToken | None
```
Verify GitHub OAuth token by calling GitHub API.
### `GitHubDCRProvider`
Complete GitHub OAuth DCR provider for FastMCP.
This provider makes it trivial to add GitHub OAuth protection to any
FastMCP server. Just provide your GitHub OAuth app credentials and
a base URL, and you're ready to go.
Features:
- Transparent OAuth proxy to GitHub
- Automatic token validation via GitHub API
- User information extraction
- Minimal configuration required
### `GitHubProvider`
Deprecated: Use GitHubDCRProvider instead.
