Developers building MCP servers are caught between two difficult choices. They can either build a custom authentication system from scratch—spending weeks implementing OAuth flows, token management, and security best practices—or they can rely on basic authentication methods that aren't suitable for production use cases involving real user data.
WorkOS Connect offers a third path that eliminates this complexity entirely. Rather than forcing you to choose between building everything yourself or compromising on security, WorkOS Connect acts as an OAuth bridge that handles all the authentication complexity while letting you focus on what matters most: building your MCP server's core functionality. Follow the docs to get started.
