Overview
OAuth 2.0 is the recommended way to authenticate with Luciq MCP when working in an IDE. It provides a seamless, secure, and one-time setup experience without requiring manual configuration or API keys.
How does OAuth authentication work?
When connecting your IDE to Luciq MCP:
Your IDE sends a request to the Luciq MCP server
A browser window opens to the Luciq login page
You log in with your Luciq account and approve access
Your IDE securely stores the credentials
Once completed, your IDE stays connected and can access Luciq data without repeated logins.
How do I revoke OAuth access?
OAuth access is tied to your MCP authentication token.
To revoke access:
Go to Account Management in your Luciq dashboard
Open Luciq MCP
Navigate to the Token tab
Delete the active token
Deleting the token cancels all credentials associated with your account, including those generated through the OAuth flow. The next time your IDE tries to connect, it will prompt you to re-authorize.
What happens after I revoke access?
After revoking access:
Your IDE will no longer be authenticated
The next time it tries to connect, you’ll be prompted to log in again
A new OAuth authorization flow will be triggered
