HTTP OAuth MCP Server
HTTP OAuth MCP server enabling AI agents to make authenticated HTTP requests to OAuth-protected APIs — managing OAuth 2.0 token acquisition and refresh flows, forwarding authenticated requests to REST APIs, and providing a generic gateway for agents to access any OAuth-secured service without embedding auth logic in the agent itself.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
HTTPS required. OAuth client credentials must be secured. Token in memory. Scope management critical. Community MCP.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
An agent needs to access OAuth-protected REST APIs without a dedicated MCP server — the OAuth HTTP server handles token management and authenticated requests generically.
Avoid When
The target API has a dedicated MCP server with typed tools — use the dedicated server for better reliability and error handling.
Use Cases
- • Accessing OAuth-protected REST APIs from automation agents
- • Making authenticated API calls without embedding OAuth logic in agents
- • Integrating enterprise APIs with OAuth 2.0 from business workflow agents
- • Building generic API bridges for OAuth services from integration agents
- • Testing OAuth-protected endpoints during development from developer agents
- • Wrapping third-party APIs that don't have dedicated MCP servers from utility agents
Not For
- • APIs using API key authentication (use generic HTTP MCP servers)
- • GraphQL APIs (this is REST/HTTP focused)
- • Teams needing dedicated, typed MCP tools for specific services
Interface
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 configuration required: client_id, client_secret, token_url, scopes. Manages token acquisition and refresh automatically. Configure per target API.
Pricing
Free, open source community MCP from snaggle-ai.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ OAuth configuration complexity is high — client_id, client_secret, token_url all required per API
- ⚠ Token refresh errors may cause silent failures — implement error detection in agent
- ⚠ Generic HTTP tool means agents get untyped responses — parsing logic must be in agent
- ⚠ OAuth flow type (authorization_code, client_credentials) must match target API exactly
- ⚠ Secrets (client_secret) must be secured — use environment variables, never hardcode
- ⚠ Community MCP from snaggle-ai — limited documentation for complex OAuth scenarios
