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 setup ensures that only authorized entities can access the server resources. OAuth2 is a widely adopted protocol that uses tokens for secure access, while Certificate-based Authentication offers a higher level of security by requiring client certificates. API Key Authentication provides a straightforward method for validating requests using predefined keys. This multi-layered approach aligns with the principles of Zero Trust Architecture, which emphasizes verifying every request as though it originates from an open network. The setup is designed to be flexible, allowing for mock testing with headers and seamless integration with production environments through mTLS.
