OAuth Authentication in MCPX

MCPX now supports OAuth-based authentication for remote MCP servers, enabling a more secure and streamlined connection process. You can authenticate servers with a few clicks, eliminating the need to manage tokens manually or navigate complex setup steps.

How It Works​

OAuth

  1. Connect a Server
    When adding a new MCP server to MCPX, you’ll see an option to authenticate with OAuth.

  2. One-Click Login
    MCPX will redirect you to the server’s authorization flow. Once you approve access, the connection is established automatically.

  3. Automatic Token Management
    Tokens are exchanged and refreshed securely in the background. You don’t need to store, rotate, or manage credentials manually.

  4. Seamless Profile Integration
    Authenticated servers are linked to your active profile, meaning you can switch between tool groups and contexts without re-authentication.

In short: OAuth makes connecting MCP servers in MCPX faster, safer, and easier than ever before.
