Set Up Authentication
Agents and tools authenticate through OAuth. Configure an OAuth provider, enable user-delegated access so agents act as the signed-in user, and connect remote MCP clients.
Register an OAuth provider in ADP so MCP servers can authenticate users (or service accounts) against an upstream system like Slack, Jira, GitHub, or Salesforce.
Have each end-user authenticate against the MCP server's upstream system with their own credentials. Redpanda stores their token in the vault and injects it at call time.
Complete walkthrough for configuring GitHub as an OAuth provider and creating a user-delegated GitHub MCP server.
Connect external MCP clients (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT desktop, Gemini Apps) to MCP servers hosted in AI Gateway. Covers the architecture (MCP server, OAuth Provider, OAuth Client) and the OAuth flow that runs end-to-end.
