wristband

An OAuth authorization server for MCP clients: RFC 8414 metadata, RFC 7591 dynamic client registration, the authorization-code flow with PKCE, consent operations and refresh-token rotation over application-supplied storage.

import "git.golem15.com/golem15/summercms/modules/wristband"

Name: The festival wristband that lets you in for the event; it issues OAuth access for MCP clients.

Overview

wristband implements the protocol side of an OAuth authorization server so an application can let MCP clients (AI assistants and connectors) act on behalf of its users. A wristband.Server provides ready-made net/http handlers for the metadata, authorize, token and registration endpoints, plus Go methods the application's own consent screen calls. Everything application-specific stays outside the package: persistence arrives through the wristband.Backend and wristband.Tx interfaces, access tokens are minted by the application's wristband.AccessTokenIssuer, and issuer, scopes and lifetimes come from wristband.Options. It imports no ORM and no application package. WinterCMS core has no counterpart.

Role in the framework

A standalone protocol leaf: it imports no framework module and no ORM. The application supplies storage and token minting through interfaces. It is separate because OAuth is security code that should be reviewed on its own, and only applications that serve MCP clients need it.

Use cases:

• Let AI assistants and MCP connectors act on behalf of the application's users.
• Register clients dynamically and complete the authorization-code flow with PKCE.
• Rotate refresh tokens and drive the application's own consent screen.

Features

• RFC 8414 metadata document (wristband.Server.Metadata) advertising the authorize, token and registration endpoints under the issuer, the authorization_code and refresh_token grants, S256 PKCE and the RFC 9207 iss response parameter.
• RFC 7591 dynamic client registration (wristband.Server.Register): JSON only, a bounded request body, redirect URI validation (HTTPS, or loopback HTTP), public (none) and confidential (client_secret_post, client_secret_basic) clients, a cap on unrevoked clients and a sweep of old clients that never got consent, all in one transaction.
• Authorization endpoint (wristband.Server.Authorize): the client and its exact registered redirect URI are validated before any redirect is sent (an unknown client gets a local plain-text 400, never an open redirect); then S256 PKCE, the client's scope ceiling and the RFC 8707 resource value are checked, a pending request is stored and the browser is sent to the application's consent page at <issuer>/connect?request=<id>. Accepted scopes are read, write, ai and offline_access.
• Consent operations for the application's own consent screen: wristband.Server.PendingRequest (what to show), wristband.Server.IssueCode (grant, returning the redirect URL with code, iss and state) and wristband.Server.DenyPending (returning an access_denied redirect). Missing, foreign, used and expired requests all report the same wristband.ErrPendingNotFound.
• Token endpoint (wristband.Server.Token): code exchange with PKCE verification, then an access token minted by the application plus a rotating refresh token. Reusing a spent refresh token revokes its whole lineage and the linked access tokens. Expired codes and refresh tokens are swept on each call.
• Connected-app revocation: wristband.Server.Revoke kills an access token and the refresh lineage attached to it.
• OpenID Connect provider flavour: wristband.NewOIDCServer builds a second wristband.Server on the same engine with discovery (wristband.Server.Discovery), a JWKS endpoint (wristband.Server.JWKS), authorization with a resumable request and consent (wristband.Server.Authorize, wristband.Server.Resume), a token endpoint that adds an id_token signed by the active key, and userinfo (wristband.Server.UserInfo). Storage arrives through wristband.OIDCBackend and wristband.OIDCTx, signing keys through wristband.KeyStore, and pages and the signed-in user through wristband.OIDCHost. The MCP flavour and its interfaces are unchanged.
• Secret handling: client secrets, codes and refresh tokens are random base64url strings, persisted only as SHA-256 hashes and compared in constant time. wristband.IssueClientCredentials and wristband.RejectRedirectURI expose the same issuing and validation rules to operator tooling that creates clients outside registration.

Usage

package oauth

import (
	"context"
	"encoding/json"
	"net/http"

	"git.golem15.com/golem15/summercms/modules/pact"
	"git.golem15.com/golem15/summercms/modules/wristband"
)

func NewServer(backend wristband.Backend) *wristband.Server {
	opts := wristband.DefaultOptions()
	opts.Issuer = "https://blog.example.com" // app URL without a trailing slash
	opts.Resource = "https://blog.example.com/mcp"
	opts.ScopesSupported = []string{"read", "write", "offline_access"}

	srv := wristband.NewServer(opts)
	srv.SetBackend(backend) // the application's transactional store adapter
	return srv
}

// Routes mounts the RFC endpoints in a raw group: no JSON envelope middleware.
func Routes(r pact.Router, srv *wristband.Server) {
	r.GroupRaw("", nil, func(g pact.Router) {
		g.Get("/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server", srv.Metadata)
		g.Get("/oauth/mcp/authorize", srv.Authorize)
		g.Post("/oauth/mcp/token", srv.Token)
		g.Post("/oauth/mcp/register", srv.Register)
	})
}

// Approve is called by the application's consent handler for a signed-in user.
func Approve(ctx context.Context, w http.ResponseWriter, srv *wristband.Server, requestID string, userID uint) error {
	redirectTo, err := srv.IssueCode(ctx, requestID, userID, []string{"read"}, nil)
	if err != nil {
		return err // wristband.ErrPendingNotFound, wristband.ErrNoGrantableScopes, ...
	}
	w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
	return json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]string{"redirect_to": redirectTo})
}
