MCP Authentication and OpenAI app sdk

[dany68]

Hi everyone,

I would look to build an OpenAI app for chatGPT using the laravel-mcp package.
Currently my app in beta use laravel sanctum for authentication, with:

• A separate nuxt app as the frontend
• An electron desktop app

Since openAI request an OAuth 2.1 for authentication it seems i need to use laravel passport.
Would you advise me to keep sanctum for the nuxt and electron app, and serve mcp endpoints via passport?
Or better to remove sanctum completely and use only passport to avoid conflict?

I would really appreciate your recommendations,
Thank you,
Daniel

Your first solution is better.
Sanctum and Passport don't have any conflict. Passport is a good solution for MCP, and Sanctum is a good solution for your SPA and Electron.
