# `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 GitHubProvider
# Simple GitHub OAuth protection
auth = GitHubProvider(
client_id="your-github-client-id",
client_secret="your-github-client-secret"
)
mcp = FastMCP("My Protected Server", auth=auth)
```
## Classes
### `GitHubTokenVerifier` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/auth/providers/github.py#L41" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
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.
Caching is disabled by default. Set ``cache_ttl_seconds`` to a positive
integer to cache successful verification results and avoid repeated
GitHub API calls for the same token.
**Methods:**
#### `verify_token` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/auth/providers/github.py#L82" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
verify_token(self, token: str) -> AccessToken | None
```
Verify GitHub OAuth token by calling GitHub API.
### `GitHubProvider` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/auth/providers/github.py#L178" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
Complete GitHub OAuth 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
