The source catalog does not include a structured feature list. Review the repository documentation before use.

SECURITY

An MCP listing is not a security review

An MCP server may receive model context, credentials, local files, or permission to call external systems. Review its code, requested environment variables, network behavior, package provenance, and maintenance status before connecting it to an agent.

🔐 SSE MCP Server with JWT Authentication

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) SSE server with JWT-based authentication.
It allows you to expose multiple AI tools over an SSE transport, protected via secure Bearer Token flow.

Built with:

🚀 Node.js + Express
🧩 @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
🔒 JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication
⚙️ Zod for input validation

✅ Fully tested with @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

✨ Features

✅ Secure SSE connection using Bearer JWT token
✅ Dynamic Tool registration (echo, time, random number, etc.)
✅ Tested with MCP Inspector
✅ Logs all request lifecycle events
✅ Session management for /message endpoint
🚀 Ready to extend for production use

⚙️ Setup

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/anisirji/mcp-server-remote-setup-with-jwt-auth.git
cd mcp-server-remote-setup-with-jwt-auth

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Create `.env` file

echo "JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key" > .env

4. Run the server

npm run dev

✅ Server will run on:

http://localhost:3001/sse

🧪 Testing the server with MCP Inspector

Step 1 — Install MCP Inspector

📖 Official Docs: MCP Inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

Step 2 — Generate a token

Use cURL to get your JWT token:

curl "http://localhost:3001/auth/token?username=aniket&scope=mcp:access"

✅ Example response:

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
}

Step 3 — Connect MCP Inspector

Open Inspector UI
Set Transport Type: SSE
URL:
```
http://localhost:3001/sse
```
Add Authorization Header:
```
Authorization: Bearer <your-token>
```
Click Connect

🎉 Success! Your server is now connected.

Step 4 — Test tools

Go to Tools tab in Inspector and click List Tools.

You will see:

✅ test
✅ echo
✅ get-time
✅ random-number

Test them and enjoy!
