From 55a4984a797b947d27b331a236c10d6fa3584599 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lakshman Patel Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 09:12:40 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat: add RequireBearerToken to gate ServeHTTP/ServeSSE tool calls MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ServeHTTP and ServeSSE were unauthenticated by default, and mcp-go's server package has no built-in bearer/OAuth enforcement (only generic WithHTTPContextFunc/WithSSEContextFunc hooks that inject context but can't reject a request themselves). RequireBearerToken wires a context func (validates the Authorization header) together with a tool-handler middleware (checks the resulting context marker before invoking any tool), registered lazily via the mcp-go Use() method only inside ServeHTTP/ ServeSSE — so ServeStdio, a locally-spawned trusted child process, is never affected regardless of whether a token is configured. Covers tool calls only; mcp-go's resource/prompt middleware are construction-time-only options with no post-construction equivalent, documented as a deliberate scope limitation rather than a silent gap. --- README.md | 19 +++++- mcpkit.go | 92 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- mcpkit_test.go | 162 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 267 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index e99bd3f..993caed 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ func main() { | Serve stdio | `s.ServeStdio()` | | Serve HTTP | `s.ServeHTTP(":8080")` | | Serve SSE | `s.ServeSSE(":8080")` | +| Require a bearer token on HTTP/SSE tool calls | `s.RequireBearerToken("secret")` | | Extract string arg | `mcpkit.StrArg(req, "key")` | | Return JSON result | `mcpkit.JSONResult(map[string]any{...})` | @@ -89,11 +90,27 @@ hawk-mcpkit Server | `(*Server).AddPrompt(prompt, handler)` | Register a prompt and its handler. `handler` is `func(context.Context, mcp.CallPromptRequest) (mcp.PromptResult, error)`. | | `(*Server).AddResource(resource, handler)` | Register a resource and its handler. `handler` is `func(context.Context, mcp.ReadResourceRequest) ([]mcp.ResourceContent, error)`. | | `(*Server).AddResourceTemplate(template, handler)` | Register a resource template and its handler. | -| `(*Server).ServeStdio()` | Serve MCP over stdin/stdout.
