Secure your MCP servers with OAuth

In this free, on-demand technical lab, build a secure, proxied MCP server using agentgateway and OAuth2 authentication.

• Create a simple MCP server: Build a Python-based MCP service exposing an echo tool and test it using the MCP Inspector GUI or CLI.
• Proxy with agentgateway: Route requests through agentgateway, separating the MCP server logic from cross-cutting concerns like observability and authorization.
• Enable authentication: Configure OAuth2 with Keycloak to secure the MCP server, issuing tokens and enforcing access policies.
• Test the secure flow: Validate that clients can authenticate via the proxy and continue interacting with MCP tools safely.

Gain hands-on experience deploying, securing, and managing MCP servers in a cloud-native environment, learning how to integrate proxies and authentication into AI-native workloads.
