Description
Designing secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that integrate with Autodesk Platform Services requires choosing and implementing the right authentication strategy for each use case. This session will provide a technical deep dive into recommended MCP auth patterns, including 2-legged versus 3-legged flows, user-delegated access, and service-to-service scenarios. We'll examine trade-offs, token handling, and common pitfalls. We'll then walk through practical implementation patterns based on real examples from the Autodesk Platform Services MCP server reference. You'll leave with actionable guidance for building secure, production-ready integrations.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to compare MCP authentication patterns and select the appropriate approach for specific Autodesk Platform Services integration scenarios.
- Learn how to implement secure token acquisition and management workflows for MCP servers using Autodesk Platform Services authentication endpoints.
- Learn how to validate authentication flows by inspecting token scopes, lifetimes, and request context to ensure correct access control.
- Learn about common security pitfalls in MCP server implementations and apply mitigation strategies for production environments.
