    BetterAuth vs NextAuth: Choose the Right Auth Library for Your SaaS

    BetterAuth and NextAuth are both open-source authentication libraries for Node.js/TypeScript projects that let developers manage user accounts in their own databases. BetterAuth offers superior developer experience with TypeScript-first design, built-in features like 2FA and rate limiting, and a plugin ecosystem for advanced functionality like multi-tenancy. NextAuth provides broader OAuth provider support and established stability but requires more manual configuration for advanced features. Both are free to use with no per-user costs, making them cost-effective alternatives to hosted authentication services. BetterAuth is recommended for new TypeScript projects requiring advanced auth features, while NextAuth suits simpler Next.js applications with basic authentication needs.

    Remote GitHub MCP Server is now in public preview

    GitHub has launched a Remote MCP Server in public preview that allows AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude Desktop to access live GitHub data including issues, pull requests, and code files. The remote server offers one-click setup, OAuth 2.0 authentication with SAML enforcement, and automatic updates without requiring local installation. It supports both OAuth and Personal Access Tokens for authentication, though OAuth is recommended for better security and scoped access. Organizations need to enable the Editor Preview Policy for GitHub Copilot integration during the preview period.

    Connect any React application to an MCP server in three lines of code

    Cloudflare open-sourced use-mcp, a React library that connects to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with just 3 lines of code, handling transport protocols, authentication, and session management automatically. The library supports OAuth 2.1, connection retries, real-time state management, and both Server-Sent Events and Streamable HTTP transport methods. Additionally, Cloudflare released their AI Playground source code, a complete chat interface that demonstrates MCP integration with Workers AI and provides debugging capabilities for MCP connections.
