### Description (declared)

# Authed MCP Integration

This package provides integration between [Authed](https://getauthed.dev) authentication and the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol).

## Overview

The Authed MCP integration allows you to:

1. Create MCP servers with Authed authentication
2. Create MCP clients that can authenticate with Authed
3. Connect to pure MCP servers without Authed authentication (optional)
4. Accept connections from pure MCP clients without Authed authentication (optional)

## Installation

```bash
pip install authed-mcp
```

## Quick Start

### Server Setup

```python
from authed import Authed
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
from authed_mcp import AuthedMiddleware
from starlette.applications import Starlette

# Initialize Authed SDK
authed = Authed.initialize(
    registry_url=os.getenv("AUTHED_REGISTRY_URL"),
    agent_id=os.getenv("AUTHED_AGENT_ID"),
    agent_secret=os.getenv("AUTHED_AGENT_SECRET"),
    private_key=os.getenv("AUTHED_PRIVATE_KEY"),
    public_key=os.getenv("AUTHED_PUBLIC_KEY")
)

# Create MCP server with Authed protection
app = Starlette(
    middleware=[
        Middleware(
            AuthedMiddleware,
            authed=authed,
            # If True, all requests must be authenticated using Authed
            # If False, allows unauthenticated requests
            require_auth=True,
            # Enable debug logging for authentication
            debug=True
        )
    ]
)
```

### Client Setup

```python
from authed import Authed
from mcp import ClientSession
from authed_mcp import get_auth_headers

# Initialize client
authed = Authed.initialize(
    registry_url=os.getenv("AUTHED_REGISTRY_URL"),
    agent_id=os.getenv("AUTHED_AGENT_ID"),
    agent_secret=os.getenv("AUTHED_AGENT_SECRET"),
    private_key=os.getenv("AUTHED_PRIVATE_KEY"),
    public_key=os.getenv("AUTHED_PUBLIC_KEY")
)

# Connect with authentication
headers = await get_auth_headers(
    authed=authed,
    url="http://localhost:800…
