MCP Auth Workflow
bkend MCP does NOT have dedicated auth tools. Use this workflow:
- Search docs:
search_docswith query "email signup" or "social login" - Get examples:
search_docswith query "auth code examples" - Generate code: AI generates REST API code based on search results
Searchable Auth Docs
| Doc ID | Content |
|---|---|
3_howto_implement_auth | Signup, login, token management guide |
6_code_examples_auth | Email, social, magic link code examples |
Key Pattern
User: "Add social login"
→ search_docs(query: "social login implementation")
→ Returns auth guide with REST API patterns
→ AI generates social login code
