What is MCP Server Template with Internet Identity Authentication?

This is a template for an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that uses Internet Identity for authentication. It includes both the server-side implementation and a React web application for handling the authentication flow.

How to use MCP Server Template with Internet Identity Authentication?

To use this template, you need to configure the environment variables for both the MCP server and the React web application. Then, start both applications and connect your AI client to the MCP server. The AI client can then use the 'authenticate' tool to initiate the authentication process.

Key features of MCP Server Template with Internet Identity Authentication

FAQ from MCP Server Template with Internet Identity Authentication

What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's a protocol for communication between AI clients and servers.

What is Internet Identity?

Internet Identity is a decentralized authentication system.

How does the authentication flow work?

The AI client requests authentication, the user authenticates via a web app using Internet Identity, a delegation is created and sent to the server, and the server authenticates the client.

What is a delegation?

A delegation is a chain of signatures that allows the MCP server to verify the user's identity without directly interacting with Internet Identity.

Where can I find detailed setup instructions?
