Establish project scope, architecture, and phased implementation plan for an OAuth 2.1 broker that fronts forgejo-mcp, delegating user authentication to Forgejo and spawning a per-session stdio forgejo-mcp subprocess scoped to each authenticated user's token. No code yet — planning only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

forgejo-mcp-broker
OAuth 2.1 authorization server and MCP session broker for forgejo-mcp.
Lets MCP clients such as Claude.ai connect to a Forgejo instance through a single public HTTPS endpoint, with per-user authentication delegated to Forgejo's own OAuth2 provider. The broker handles the OAuth dance, then spawns a dedicated forgejo-mcp --transport stdio subprocess for each authenticated session, scoped to the authenticated user's Forgejo access token.
Status: Planning. No code yet. See docs/design.md for the architecture and docs/plan.md for the phased implementation plan.
How it fits
Claude.ai ──HTTPS──▶ Caddy ──▶ fjmcp-broker ──stdio──▶ forgejo-mcp ──▶ Forgejo API
(this) (one per user (per-user
session) token)
fjmcp-broker(this project): one long-running process. Handles OAuth discovery, dynamic client registration, the authorization-code flow against Forgejo, session lifecycle, and stdio-to-streamable-HTTP bridging.forgejo-mcp(existing project): used as-is. Spawned per-session with the authenticated user'sFORGEJO_ACCESS_TOKENin the environment.- Caddy: terminates TLS for the public hostname and reverse-proxies to the broker.
Why a broker instead of adding OAuth to forgejo-mcp?
Process-level isolation. Each user's Forgejo token lives in exactly one subprocess — the broker never needs to demultiplex tokens inside a single shared client. This keeps forgejo-mcp's sync.Once singleton-client pattern valid and avoids a refactor of every tool handler. Full trade-off in docs/design.md.

TBD — pick one before the first public release. Likely MIT or Apache-2.0 to match the Forgejo ecosystem.
