📌Overview

Purpose: This framework aims to demonstrate the implementation of Entra ID authentication in an MCP server using HTTP+SSE transport.

Overview: The Minimal Entra ID-authenticated MCP Server provides a simple model for integrating Entra ID authentication with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It utilizes a confidential client within the MCP server and employs session mapping for session assignment through a JWT-like token, avoiding the use of cookies.

Key Features:

  • Confidential Client Integration: Implements a confidential client within the server to securely manage authentication and session assignments.

  • Session Mapping with JWT: Utilizes session mapping to assign JWT tokens for session tracking, enhancing security and compliance with session management practices.


🔒 Minimal Entra ID-authenticated MCP Server

Minimal server demonstrating how to implement Entra ID authentication with MCP and HTTP+SSE transport. This implementation uses a confidential client within the MCP server and employs "session mapping" to assign sessions via a token resembling a JWT, as cookies cannot be used.
