FAQ from Local MCP-Server-with-HTTPS-and-GitHub-OAuth

What are the prerequisites to run this server?

You need Node.js (v16 or later), npm, and OpenSSL installed on your system.

What should I do if I get a EADDRINUSE error on port 3000?

Stop any process using port 3000 or change the port in server.js. Use netstat -ano | findstr :3000 to find the process ID and taskkill /PID <PID> /F to terminate it.

Why does the browser show a certificate warning?

Self-signed certificates are not trusted by browsers. For production, use a trusted Certificate Authority like Let’s Encrypt.

How do I configure GitHub OAuth?

Create a GitHub OAuth App, then set CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, REDIRECT_URI (https://localhost:3000/auth/callback), and SESSION_SECRET in a .env file.
