Authorization from Gateway to MCP Servers

[erie149]

Hello All!
I just wanted to get a feel of how authorization will be implemented when calling an mcp server from the gateway. Will the gateway act as a client according to the MCP spec https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/authorization#authorization-flow ? And if so , do you plan on implementing the flows outlined in the spec? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated

Hi, that is correct.

Please check out our roadmap: https://ibm.github.io/mcp-context-forge/architecture/roadmap/ which describes the various Auth related features.

One of the upcoming features is already in development with #626 - with more coming soon.
