Curious mind. Creator of https://plnkr.co. Tech lead for extensibility at Auth0 (OKTA). I will never stop experimenting.
Here's a demo of two aspects of MCP Auth.
1. Authenticating to an MCP Server in coordination with the MCP Host (VS Code Insiders).
2. Authenticating to a downstream service (Confluence) on demand for a tool, `confluence_search`.
The MCP Host provides (1) but is oblivious to (2).

They're feeling the years for sure but maybe they've got a few more in them 😅

Here's my aspirational vision for a modelcontextprotocol.io (MCP) project. I'm pretty excited by the potential but the scope is _huge_.
If you're unfamiliar with the MCP, it tries to standardize a protocol for clients like Claude, Zed editor, etc. to get extensible super-powers.
WDYT?

![MCP is a command-line tool and local UI for discovering, installing and managing Model Context Protocol servers.
[!NOTE] This README describes an aspirational vision. Almost none of this is ready but this is intended to set the direction we're going.
The mcp tool acts as an MCP Server for Clients like Claude and Zed. It is unique in that it doesn't provide any capabilities on its own. Instead it acts as a sort of broker between Clients and any number of installed Servers. The mcp tool facilitates that by helping you discover and install MCP Servers. It talks to a public registry of MCP Servers and is able to download, configure and run these in a secure and frictionless way.
In addition to acting as a broker, mcp:
1. Allows Servers to request OAuth2 credentials and manages the flow for obtaining, storing and refreshing these credentials.
2. Keeps an audit log of all operations going through it and provides a UI for reviewing audit logs across different sessions and Clients.
3. Reduces host system dependencies to docker. By leveraging docker, mcp allows you to run Servers without mutating your host with any necessary tool-chains or dependencies. In addition, mcp leverages the containerization and isolation technology in docker to isolate your host system from malicious or buggy MCP Servers.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yhvtiqe525h3ubegr3ldwdxk/bafkreihfbqm6cbqwxp3y7wqonxeiqx5fdotcp4vzrrbwa6sylbga4tinx4@jpeg)

I think @anthropic.com's Model Context Protocol is fascinating. I've been re-implementing the stdio and sse protocols to understand the inner workings and am at the MVP stage.
I'm exposing a custom weather tool that always responds with `"sunny with a chance of meatballs"` 🤣. Claude is onto me.
