Building Protected MCP Servers — Den Delimarsky and Julia Kasper, MCP Steering Committee & Microsoft
This talk addresses the critical need for security in Multi-Call Protocol (MCP) servers, particularly for remote instances. It introduces a new draft specification that simplifies authorization by separating the MCP server's role from that of an authorization server. This approach aims to reduce the burden on developers by allowing them to leverage existing OAuth 2.0 libraries and identity providers, rather than implementing complex authorization logic themselves.
