This document outlines the authentication setup for a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) paradigm.

The ZTA Paradigm based MCP Server Authentication Setup provides a robust framework for securing server communications through various authentication methods. By leveraging OAuth2, Certificate-based Authentication, and API Key Authentication, the system ensures that only authorized entities can access the server resources. OAuth2 is a widely adopted protocol that uses tokens to grant access, making it suitable for applications requiring secure user authentication. Certificate-based Authentication offers an additional layer of security by verifying client identities through digital certificates, which is particularly effective in environments where mutual TLS (mTLS) is implemented. API Key Authentication provides a straightforward method for authenticating requests using predefined keys, ideal for scenarios where simplicity and ease of use are prioritized. Together, these methods form a comprehensive security strategy that aligns with the principles of Zero Trust, ensuring that every access request is thoroughly vetted before being granted.

Features

  • OAuth2 Token Authentication: Utilizes bearer tokens for secure access control.
  • Certificate-based Authentication: Employs client certificates for identity verification.
  • API Key Authentication: Uses predefined keys for straightforward request validation.
