fastmcp.server.auth.providers.github

GitHub OAuth provider for FastMCP. This module provides a complete GitHub OAuth integration that’s ready to use with just a client ID and client secret. It handles all the complexity of GitHub’s OAuth flow, token validation, and user management. Example: 
from fastmcp import FastMCP
from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.github import GitHubProvider

# Simple GitHub OAuth protection
auth = GitHubProvider(
    client_id="your-github-client-id",
    client_secret="your-github-client-secret"
)

mcp = FastMCP("My Protected Server", auth=auth)
