## MCP Authentication Overview

### What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is an open protocol that enables AI agents (like Claude, ChatGPT) to access external data sources and tools. ColaFlow implements an **MCP Server** that allows AI agents to:

- Search projects, issues, and documents
- Create and update tasks
- Generate reports
- Log decisions
- Execute workflows

### Authentication Requirements

AI agents need a secure way to authenticate and perform operations:

1. **Long-lived tokens**: AI agents use API tokens (not JWT)
2. **Fine-grained permissions**: Each token has specific resource/operation permissions
3. **Audit trail**: All MCP operations must be logged
4. **Tenant isolation**: Tokens are scoped to a single tenant
5. **Revocable**: Tokens can be revoked instantly

### Enumerations

**File**: `src/ColaFlow.Domain/Aggregates/McpTokenAggregate/Enums.cs`

```csharp
namespace ColaFlow.Domain.Aggregates.McpTokenAggregate;

public enum TokenStatus
{
    Active = 1,
    Expired = 2,
    Revoked = 3
}
```

### Domain Events

**File**: `src/ColaFlow.Domain/Aggregates/McpTokenAggregate/Events/McpTokenCreatedEvent.cs`

```csharp
using ColaFlow.Domain.Common;
using ColaFlow.Domain.Aggregates.McpTokenAggregate.ValueObjects;
using ColaFlow.Domain.Aggregates.TenantAggregate.ValueObjects;

namespace ColaFlow.Domain.Aggregates.McpTokenAggregate.Events;

public sealed record McpTokenCreatedEvent(
    McpTokenId TokenId,
    TenantId TenantId,
    TokenName Name) : IDomainEvent;
```

**File**: `src/ColaFlow.Domain/Aggregates/McpTokenAggregate/Events/McpTokenRevokedEvent.cs`

```csharp
using ColaFlow.Domain.Common;
using ColaFlow.Domain.Aggregates.McpTokenAggregate.ValueObjects;

namespace ColaFlow.Domain.Aggregates.McpTokenAggregate.Events;

public sealed record McpTokenRevokedEvent(
    McpTokenId TokenId,
    string Reason) : IDomainEvent;
```

## MCP Token Format

### Token Structure

```
mcp_<tenant_slug>_<random_32_chars>
```

**Examples**:
- `mcp_acme_7f3d8a9c4e1b2f5a6d8c9e0f1a2b3c4d`
- `mcp_beta_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6`

### Token Generation

**File**: `src/ColaFlow.Infrastructure/Services/McpTokenGenerator.cs`

```csharp
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;

namespace ColaFlow.Infrastructure.Services;

public interface IMcpTokenGenerator
{
    string GenerateToken(string tenantSlug);
    string HashToken(string token);
    bool VerifyToken(string token, string hash);
}

public sealed class McpTokenGenerator : IMcpTokenGenerator
{
    public string GenerateToken(string tenantSlug)
    {
        // Generate cryptographically secure random bytes
        var randomBytes = new byte[24]; // 24 bytes = 32 base64 chars
        using var rng = RandomNumberGenerator.Create();
        rng.GetBytes(randomBytes);

        // Convert to base64 and make URL-safe
        var randomPart = Convert.ToBase64String(randomBytes)
            .Replace("+", "")
            .Replace("/", "")
            .Replace("=", "")
            .ToLowerInvariant()
            .Substring(0, 32);

        return $"mcp_{tenantSlug}_{randomPart}";
    }

    public string HashToken(string token)
    {
        using var sha256 = SHA256.Create();
        var hashBytes = sha256.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(token));
        return Convert.ToBase64String(hashBytes);
    }

    public bool VerifyToken(string token, string hash)
    {
        var computedHash = HashToken(token);
        return computedHash == hash;
    }
}
```

---

## Permission Model Design

### Permission Schema

```json
{
  "projects": ["read", "search"],
  "issues": ["read", "create", "update", "search"],
  "documents": ["read", "create", "search"],
  "reports": ["read"],
  "sprints": ["read", "search"]
}
```

### Resource Types

- `projects`: Project management
- `issues`: Issue/task management
- `documents`: Documentation
- `reports`: Analytics and reports
- `sprints`: Sprint management
- `users`: User management (admin only)

### Operation Types

- `read`: Read single resource
- `create`: Create new resource
- `update`: Update existing resource
- `delete`: Delete resource (restricted)
- `search`: Search/list resources

### Restriction Rules

1. **No Delete for Issues**: AI agents should not delete issues (data loss risk)
2. **No User Management**: AI agents cannot create/modify users
3. **Read-only Reports**: AI can read but not modify analytics
4. **Project-scoped**: All operations scoped to accessible projects

## Security Considerations

### 1. Token Storage

- **Never store plain-text tokens**: Always hash with SHA256
- **Show token only once**: After creation, never display again
- **Encrypt in transit**: HTTPS only
- **Database encryption**: Enable encryption at rest for `mcp_tokens` table

### 2. Token Validation

- **Constant-time comparison**: Prevent timing attacks
- **Rate limiting**: Prevent brute-force attacks
- **IP whitelisting**: Optional but recommended for production
- **Expiration**: Set reasonable expiration dates (90 days max)

### 3. Permission Enforcement

- **Fail closed**: Deny by default if permission unclear
- **Audit all operations**: Log every MCP request
- **No delete permissions**: AI agents should not delete data
- **Read-only by default**: Require explicit write permissions

### 4. Revocation

- **Instant revocation**: Token validation checks status in real-time
- **Audit trail**: Log why token was revoked
- **Notification**: Email user when their token is revoked

## Summary

This MCP authentication architecture provides:

✅ **Secure Token Management**: SHA256 hashing, one-time display, instant revocation
✅ **Fine-Grained Permissions**: Resource + operation level control
✅ **Complete Audit Trail**: Every MCP operation logged with full context
✅ **Multi-Tenant Support**: Tokens scoped to single tenant
✅ **Production-Ready Security**: IP whitelisting, rate limiting, expiration
✅ **Beautiful UI**: Full-featured token management interface
✅ **AI-Friendly**: Designed for Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI agents

**Next Steps**:
1. Update JWT authentication to include tenant claims
2. Execute database migration
3. Configure MCP Server with token authentication
4. Test with real AI agents (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT)
