You must register the OAuth2 bearer authentication middleware before MVC, or your users will be unauthenticated when reaching MVC:

public class Startup {
    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app) {
        app.UseJwtBearerAuthentication(new JwtBearerOptions {
            // Your JWT bearer options.
        });

        app.UseMvc();
    }
}
