Overview

Create your own authentication infrastructure using the Lit Protocol Auth Services package. This provides two core services:
  1. Auth Server for PKP minting with various auth methods, and a Worker for background minting operations.
  2. Login Server for OAuth flows

​
Dev Network

On the naga-dev network, you don’t need to setup these services yourself, they are already set up for you.

Test & Production Networks

The following guide is incomplete. More details coming soon for test and production networks on how to setup these services yourself.

​
Install the SDK

Run the following command to install the SDK: (Only available using Bun to install at the moment.) 
bun add @lit-protocol/auth-services@beta

Lit Auth Service

1

Create the Lit Auth Service

Create the Lit Auth Service instance.
// Auth Server Setup
import { createLitAuthServer } from "@lit-protocol/auth-services";

const litAuthServer = createLitAuthServer({
  port: process.env.PORT || 6380,
  network: process.env.NETWORK || "naga-dev",
  litTxsenderRpcUrl: process.env.LIT_TXSENDER_RPC_URL,
  litTxsenderPrivateKey: process.env.LIT_TXSENDER_PRIVATE_KEY,
  enableApiKeyGate: process.env.ENABLE_API_KEY_GATE === "true",
});

// Start the auth server
await litAuthServer.start();
2

Start the background worker

// Worker Setup
import { startAuthServiceWorker } from "@lit-protocol/auth-services";

// Start the background worker for processing PKP minting operations
await startAuthServiceWorker();

// The worker handles:
// - Background PKP minting operations (non-blocking)
// - Job queue processing with BullMQ
// - Redis connection management
// - Error handling and retry logic for minting jobs

Lit Login Server

1

Create the Lit Login Server

Create the Lit Login Server instance.
// Login Server Setup  
import { createLitLoginServer } from "@lit-protocol/auth-services";

const litLoginServer = createLitLoginServer({
  port: 3300,
  host: "0.0.0.0",
  stateExpirySeconds: 30,
  
  // OAuth provider configuration
  socialProviders: {
    google: {
      clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID!,
      clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET!,
    },
    discord: {
      clientId: process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_ID!,
      clientSecret: process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET!,
    },
  },
});

// Start the login server
await litLoginServer.start();
