mcp-oauth21-scalekit
Add OAuth 2.1 authorization to MCP servers (Scalekit)
Goal
Secure an MCP server so only authenticated + authorized users (and approved MCP clients) can call your tools, using Scalekit as the OAuth 2.1 authorization server and your MCP server as the resource server.
When to activate this skill
Activate when the user asks to:
- "Add OAuth/OAuth 2.1/auth to my MCP server"
- "Implement .well-known/oauth-protected-resource"
- "Validate Bearer tokens / add middleware"
- "Enforce scopes per tool" / "least privilege for MCP tools"
- "Make my MCP server work with Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code auth"
Inputs you must collect (ask if missing)
- MCP server base URL (public): e.g. https://mcp.example.com
- Scalekit environment URL: https://.scalekit.com (or provided)
- Resource identifier to validate as
aud:- Prefer the "Server URL" registered in Scalekit, OR
- The Scalekit-generated resource id if no Server URL was configured

setup-scalekit
Use when a developer is new to Scalekit and needs guidance on where to start, doesn't know which auth plugin or skill to choose, wants to connect an AI agent or agentic workflow to third-party services (Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Calendar), needs OAuth or tool-calling auth for agents, wants to add authentication to a project but hasn't chosen an approach yet, or needs to install the Scalekit plugin for their AI coding tool (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Cursor, or other agents).
11integrating-agent-auth
Integrates Scalekit Agent Auth into a project to handle OAuth flows, token storage, and automatic refresh for third-party services (Gmail, Slack, Notion, Calendar). Use when a user needs to connect to an external service, authorize OAuth access, fetch access or refresh tokens, or execute API calls on behalf of a user.
5implementing-scalekit-fsa
Implements Scalekit full-stack authentication (FSA) including sign-up, login, logout, and secure session management using JWT tokens. Use when building or integrating user authentication with the Scalekit SDK across Node.js, Python, Go, or Java — or when the user asks about auth flows, OAuth callbacks, token refresh, or session handling with Scalekit.
4adding-mcp-oauth
Guides users through adding OAuth 2.1 authorization to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using Scalekit. Use when setting up MCP servers, implementing authentication for AI hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code, or when users mention MCP security, OAuth, or Scalekit integration.
3modular-sso
Implements complete SSO and authentication flows using Scalekit. Handles modular SSO, IdP-initiated login, user session management, and enterprise customer onboarding. Use when adding authentication, SSO, SAML, OIDC, or user login to applications.
3sk-actions-custom-provider
Create or review Scalekit custom providers/connectors for proxy-only usage. Use this skill when the task is to gather API docs, infer whether a connector is OAuth, Basic, Bearer, or API Key, determine required tracked fields like domain or version, generate provider JSON, check for existing custom providers, show update diffs, run approved create or update curls, and print resolved delete curls.
