### Description (declared)

# doorman

**One-line OAuth for self-hosted MCP servers.**

53% of self-hosted API services ship with static API keys. Only 8.5% implement proper OAuth. For MCP servers exposed to AI agents and human clients alike, that gap is not a configuration choice: it is a vulnerability. Doorman closes it in one line.

## Before / After

### Before: 28 lines of boilerplate every time

```python
import os
from fastmcp import FastMCP
from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.github import GitHubProvider

mcp = FastMCP("My Server")

# Manually validate every required credential
client_id = os.environ.get("GITHUB_CLIENT_ID")
if not client_id:
    raise ValueError("GITHUB_CLIENT_ID is required")

client_secret = os.environ.get("GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET")
if not client_secret:
    raise ValueError("GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET is required")

jwt_secret = os.environ.get("DOORMAN_JWT_SECRET")
if not jwt_secret:
    raise ValueError("DOORMAN_JWT_SECRET is required")

mcp.auth = GitHubProvider(
    client_id=client_id,
    client_secret=client_secret,
    base_url=os.environ.get("DOORMAN_BASE_URL", "http://127.0.0.1:8000"),
    required_scopes=["read:user", "user:email"],
    allowed_client_redirect_uris=["http://localhost:*", "http://127.0.0.1:*"],
    jwt_signing_key=jwt_secret,
    require_authorization_consent=False,
)
```

### After: one line

```python
import doorman
doorman.protect(mcp, github=True)
```

## Quickstart

### 1. Install

```bash
pip install doorman-mcp
```

### 2. Set environment variables

Generate a strong JWT secret:

```bash
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(48))"
```

Then export all required variables for your shell:

**macOS / Linux (bash/zsh):**

```bash
export GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
export GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
export DOORMAN_JWT_SECRET=paste_the_generated_secret_here
export DOORMAN_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000
```

**Windows (PowerShell):**

```powershell
$env:GITHUB_CLIENT_ID = "your_client_id"
$env:GITHUB_CLIENT_…
