Local MCP-Server-with-HTTPS-and-GitHub-OAuth

This project is a secure local MCP server built with Node.js and Express. Key features include:

  • HTTPS Encryption: Ensures secure communication between clients and the server.
  • GitHub OAuth Authentication: Allows users to log in using their GitHub accounts.
  • Rate Limiting & Secure Session Management: Protects against abuse and uses secure cookies.
  • HTTP Header Security: Utilizes helmet to protect against vulnerabilities.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v16 or later)
  • npm
  • OpenSSL (for SSL certificates)

Setup Instructions

  1. Clone the repository.
  2. Install dependencies via npm.
  3. Generate SSL certificates with OpenSSL.
  4. Configure environment variables in a .env file.
  5. Start the server to run securely on localhost.

Usage

Navigate to https://localhost:3000 in your browser. Authenticate with GitHub via /auth. Access secure routes like /secure-data once authenticated.

Troubleshooting

  • For port issues, ensure port 3000 is free or change it.
  • Address certificate warnings by using a trusted Certificate Authority.
