I would suggest using a locally run streaming http server instead of stdio. It makes things much more complicated to not have the server be a webserver on terms of oauth, and streaming http works really well locally too. |

My first though there though is that not all MCP clients support talking to localhost |

Fair enough. However, if they support stdio they should support localhost streaming http, too. I think all major MCP SDKs enforce CORS by default. It's been a while since I tested, but VS Code and Claude did support localhost at one point. |

I see numerous examples and discussions about how to handle authentication with an MCP server that uses HTTP, but I have not seen any examples for doing authentication with a locally running MCP server using Stdin/stdout.
My practical use case is my MCP server talks to a backend server that requires authentication using OAuth.
