Use oauthCustomProvider when your identity provider supports Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) and advertises a registration_endpoint in its OAuth metadata. Clients will discover the endpoints and register themselves directly with the upstream — your server only verifies the resulting tokens.
If your provider doesn’t support DCR — Google, GitHub, Okta, Azure AD, or any provider where you register an app in a dashboard and receive a fixed clientId/clientSecret — use oauthProxy instead.

​
Quick start

import { MCPServer, oauthCustomProvider } from "mcp-use/server";
import { jwtVerify, createRemoteJWKSet } from "jose";

const JWKS = createRemoteJWKSet(
  new URL("https://auth.example.com/.well-known/jwks.json"),
);

const server = new MCPServer({
  name: "my-server",
  version: "1.0.0",
  oauth: oauthCustomProvider({
    issuer: "https://auth.example.com",
    authEndpoint: "https://auth.example.com/oauth/authorize",
    tokenEndpoint: "https://auth.example.com/oauth/token",

    async verifyToken(token: string) {
      const result = await jwtVerify(token, JWKS, {
        issuer: "https://auth.example.com",
        audience: "your-audience",
      });
      return { payload: result.payload as Record<string, unknown> };
    },

    getUserInfo(payload) {
      return {
        userId: payload.sub as string,
        email: payload.email as string | undefined,
        name: payload.name as string | undefined,
        roles: (payload.roles as string[]) || [],
      };
    },
  }),
});

await server.listen(3000);

Accessing user info in tools

server.tool(
  {
    name: "get-user-info",
    description: "Get authenticated user info",
  },
  async (_args, ctx) => ({
    userId: ctx.auth.user.userId,
    email: ctx.auth.user.email,
    name: ctx.auth.user.name,
    scopes: ctx.auth.scopes,
  }),
);
