Next.js MCP Servers Implement Per-User OAuth with NextAuth

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article details how to implement per-user OAuth in a Next.js MCP (Multi-Context Processing) server, addressing the security risks of using a single API key for all users. It explains how to leverage NextAuth to store individual user OAuth access tokens within session cookies.

IMPACT Enables more secure and scalable multi-user applications by managing individual API credentials.
