What weāre about
Meet other local JavaScripters to network, share knowledge, to review the state of the art, or to dream up new applications. We are starting to host a few in person meetups, but we will also offer virtual to ensure developers from everywhere can join!
If you want to keep in touch between meetups, join the Bitovi Community Discord! Be sure to introduce yourself when you join the server. Can't wait to see you there.
Anybody on the job market, please, read the https://www.meetup.com/js-chi/messages/5067572/ email and follow the directions.

š Simplify Application Login, Access, and User Management with IAM Providers with Harsha Thirimanna
This session offers a detailed exploration of login functionalities, covering foundational authentication methods as well as advanced implementations like Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and social login integrations. Participants will gain practical knowledge on using the SDK to ensure OpenID Connect (OIDC) compliance, optimize token management, and follow industry best practices for robust application security.
This session is perfect for developers aiming to deepen their understanding of user authentication, embrace best-in-class security practices, and smoothly integrate modern identity solutions into their applications.
š Building a Proxy Model Context Provider (MCP) in Nodejs with Justin Meyer
This talk walks through the process of building a proxy Model Context Provider (MCP) in Nodejs to support downloading attachments from Jira. MCPs are a key part of enabling AI assistants to fetch contextual information from tools like Jira, and building a proxy allows you to handle data access flexibly without relying on frontend workarounds.
Along the way, weāll explore how the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow with PKCE works in practice and how to implement it to enable context-aware tools. This is a hands-on walkthrough for developers looking to integrate model context systems with real-world platforms using standard web technologies.
By the end, youāll understand how to set up an MCP proxy service, walk through the complete authorization lifecycle, and apply these patterns to your own context-fetching services.
