OAuth for MCP
The secure login handshake that lets an AI assistant act inside your app on a buyer's behalf without you wiring up any of it
OAuth for MCP is the standard login handshake that lets ChatGPT or Claude act inside your app on a user's behalf.
When someone in the chat connects to your app, they hit a consent screen, approve access, and the assistant gets a scoped token instead of a password.
In MCP, your server is the resource server and the assistant is the client. The spec runs on OAuth 2.1 and now requires PKCE, a check that stops a stolen code from being reused.
Why it matters for the ChatGPT funnel
This is the gate between an interested buyer and a booked meeting.
If the login flow is clunky or fails, the buyer bounces before they ever fill out a form. A clean, trusted handshake keeps the conversation moving toward lead capture in chat.
You don't sell OAuth. But a broken one quietly leaks pipeline.
