AI Setup with the MCP Server

The node-auth MCP server gives any MCP-capable AI editor direct access to the library's documentation, interfaces, and code-generation tools. Instead of copying snippets from docs, you describe what you need in plain language and the AI scaffolds the full implementation.

Verified working editors: VS Code (GitHub Copilot) and Antigravity.

Configuration overview

The MCP server is a hosted service — there is nothing to install locally. You only need to:

  1. Create an API key in your account area
  2. Paste the connection config into your editor

Step 1 — Create an API key​

Open your Account page and go to the 🔑 API Keys tab.

Click + Generate Key, give the key a name (e.g. VS Code Token), select the mcp:read scope, and click Generate Key.

caution

Copy the raw key immediately — it is shown only once.

Account area — create and copy your MCP API key

Step 2 — Connect your editor​

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)​

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root (or open an existing one) and add:

{
  "servers": {
    "node-auth": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://authmcp.ricordatiilatte.it/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you copied in Step 1.

Restart VS Code. Copilot Chat will now list node-auth as a connected MCP server.

Antigravity​

In Antigravity open Settings → MCP Servers → Add server and fill in:

FieldValue
Namenode-auth
URLhttps://authmcp.ricordatiilatte.it/mcp
Auth headerAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

What the AI can configure​

Once connected, describe what you need and the AI scaffolds the complete implementation:

Ask for…What gets generated
"Add JWT auth with Google OAuth"AuthConfigurator, router(), OAuth strategy config
"Add a MongoDB user store"Full IUserStore implementation with Mongoose
"Set up role-based access control"IRolesPermissionsStore, rbacMiddleware, admin panel wiring
"Enable real-time SSE notifications"AuthEventBus, AuthTools, createToolsRouter with SSE
"Add inbound webhooks with vm sandbox"@webhookAction decorators, ActionRegistry, sandbox config
"Create an admin dashboard"createAdminRouter wiring with all optional stores
"Add 2FA with TOTP"TotpStrategy, QR endpoint, verification flow

Built-in AI assistant​

Every page of this wiki has an AI Setup button (bottom-right corner). It opens a panel connected directly to the MCP server — ask questions and get code examples without leaving the docs.
