okta-sample-employee-mcp-server
Verified Safeby indranilokg
Overview
A standalone, production-ready MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for secure employee data access, validating requests with Okta tokens.
Installation
./start_server.shEnvironment Variables
- OKTA_DOMAIN
- OKTA_AUTHORIZATION_SERVER_ID
Security Notes
The server implements robust Okta token validation (signature, expiration, issuer, audience, scopes) via OAuth 2.0 discovery. However, the default CORS `allow_origins=["*"]` is too permissive for production and should be configured. Audience and required scope validation can be optionally disabled by omitting `OKTA_AUDIENCE` and `OKTA_REQUIRED_SCOPES`, which relies on correct deployment configuration. The `stdio_transport` intentionally bypasses Okta validation as it's for local subprocess communication, which is acceptable but critical to not expose over a network.
