What is the UX for an end user with the OAuth? They use MCP say for GitHub in Cursor, how do they provide access to their GitHub?
Also why would they not just use the official GitHub MCP?
- wirehack 1y agoHi yes so if you just use it yourselves locally in Cursor, I think you can definitely just use the official GitHub MCP. But there might be more use cases where people want to connect MCP servers in their AI agents and deploy it in the cloud, then the local GitHub server would not be a fit. The UX for end user OAuth is the standard GitHub Oauth flow. You will see a webpage saying that an GitHub Oauth App is requesting access to your github and you need to select yes/no.
- tough 1y agousually you pass an ENV var as args with the personal acccess token
- wirehack 1y agoyes right forgot to mention this.
