Build Auth-Ready MCP Apps With Descope and Skybridge
Blog post from Descope
MCP Apps enable AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT to render interactive interfaces for tool calls, including maps, forms, and booking widgets, but securing these applications requires OAuth implementation. Skybridge, a TypeScript framework for building MCP Apps, integrates with Descope through its descopeProvider to supply OAuth metadata, token verification, scope enforcement, consent flows, and Dynamic Client Registration without requiring developers to build authentication infrastructure themselves. Developers can use Skybridge’s auth-descope reference project, configure an MCP Server resource and issuer URL in Descope, and launch an OAuth 2.1-protected app within minutes. The integration is positioned as particularly useful for organizations already using Descope because it connects MCP Apps to a unified identity system with shared users, audit trails, policies, inbound client authentication, and outbound token management for third-party APIs.
