Description

Not supporting oauth is currently a significant limitation of mcpjungle and we need to address this. Because of this, currently chatgpt cannot connect to mcpjungle (because it only authenticates via oauth).

This needs more research - what all ways will oauth play a role in a gateway?

  1. mcpj should act as a oauth server - allow MCP clients that support oauth (such as claude desktop, chatgpt) to authenticate with mcpjungle to be able to access its functionality.
  2. mcpj in turn should be able to act as a oauth client to authenticate with upstream mcp servers that support oauth.
  3. mcpj should allow people to use their identity providers like okta, google, auth0, etc. to log into it (via openid connect).

What else? What all does MCP, as a protocol, support w.r.t oauth?
