Submitting a plugin with only Google OAuth-based login

When submitting a plugin, I am asked to submit test credentials where I’m restricted to only providing a username and password.

However, my MCP App does NOT have a login via username and password due to security reasons and only allows Google OAuth based signup/login which is more secure.

How am I supposed to submit my plugin?

Here is what you can do:

  1. Provide a Dedicated Test Google Account: Create a dedicated/dummy Google account specifically for reviewers. Put the Google email as the Username and its password as the Password. Make sure 2FA is turned off so they aren’t blocked by verification prompts.

  2. Add Clear Notes for Reviewers In the submission instructions or notes field, explicitly state:

    “This app uses Google OAuth only. Please click ‘Sign in with Google’ and use the provided test credentials.”

  3. Provide a Temporary Test Bypass / Magic Link (If Google Blocks Login) If Google flags login attempts from reviewer IPs, set up a temporary bypass endpoint or magic login link on your staging/production server for test accounts, or whitelist the reviewer’s access.

If your app only supports Google OAuth, mention that in the submission notes and explain that username/password credentials aren’t available. Provide clear steps for the reviewer to authenticate via Google OAuth, or contact the review team if additional access details are needed.
