OpenClaw MCP Bridge provides access to your AI assistant. Proper security is critical.

• Enable OAuth authentication (OAUTH_ENABLED=true)
• Use HTTPS (deploy behind reverse proxy with TLS)
• Set strong API keys or configure OAuth provider
• Restrict network access (firewall rules)
• Keep dependencies updated

• Use short-lived OAuth tokens (15-60 minutes)
• Enable audit logging
• Set up rate limiting
• Configure CORS restrictions
• Monitor for suspicious activity
• Regular security audits

Best for enterprise deployments with existing identity providers:

OAUTH_ENABLED=true
OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_ENDPOINT=https://auth.company.com/oauth2/introspect
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=openclaw-mcp
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
OAUTH_REQUIRED_SCOPES=openclaw:read,openclaw:write

Supported providers:

• Auth0
• Keycloak
• Okta
• Azure AD
• Any OAuth2-compliant provider

For personal or small team deployments:

OAUTH_ENABLED=true
API_KEYS=key-abc123,key-def456

Generate secure keys:

openssl rand -hex 32

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name mcp.example.com;

    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;
    ssl_protocols TLSv1.3;

    # Rate limiting
    limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=mcp:10m rate=10r/s;
    limit_req zone=mcp burst=20 nodelay;

    # Security headers
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" always;
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
    add_header X-Frame-Options "DENY" always;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}
