FastMCP Authentication

FastMCP ships a complete authentication and authorization layer for MCP servers. Servers can verify tokens, terminate OAuth flows directly, or proxy to an external OAuth or OIDC provider, and they can combine multiple authentication sources. Out-of-the-box providers cover Auth0, AWS Cognito, Azure/Entra ID, GitHub, Google, Discord, Keycloak, OCI IAM, Supabase, WorkOS, AuthKit, Descope, PropelAuth, and Scalekit. Authorization integrations include Permit.io and Eunomia.
