Django OAuth Toolkit is an OAuth 2.0 authorization server and resource server library for Django projects, built on OAuthLib and RFC 6749 compliant. It provides endpoints, models, and logic to issue and manage OAuth2 tokens within an existing Django app, including MCP authorization support with PKCE and discovery metadata.

Use cases

• add oauth2 authentication to a django app
• protect a django rest framework api with oauth2 tokens
• run an oauth2 authorization server without a separate service
• issue and manage oauth2 access tokens in django
• support mcp authorization with pkce in django
• implement oidc login for a django project

When to choose

• you already run Django and want OAuth2 server capabilities in-process
• you need RFC-compliant OAuth2 or OIDC with Django REST Framework integration
• you need MCP-compliant authorization for AI agent clients

When to avoid

• you use Flask, FastAPI, or a non-Django stack
• you want a standalone identity provider service like Keycloak
• you only need simple session-based login without OAuth2
