MCP Server Nginx Gatekeeper

Agent skill
1 skill

Use when the user asks to "add a new MCP server behind nginx", "wire an MCP into the mcp. vhost", "expose an MCP container with gatekeeper auth", or otherwise needs to put a Streamable-HTTP MCP server (FastMCP or low-level SDK) behind nginx with ByteForge Gatekeeper auth (authrequest /auth). Emits a shared conf.d/snippets/mcp-location.conf (proxy/auth/streaming headers all in one place) and either a single new location /mcp- block (brownfield) or the full umbrella vhost from scratch (greenfield). Includes the .well-known OAuth-discovery bypass that forces MCP clients like Claude Code to fall back to bearer-token auth, the /mcp- → /mcp rewrite trio that makes path-prefix routing survive Streamable-HTTP's absolute upstream endpoint, and the buffering/timeout settings that keep streaming connections alive.
