Descope Announces Agentic Identity Hub to Enable Secure, Standards-Based AI Agent Connectivity

New capabilities help organizations make their apps and APIs agent-compatible, securely connect AI agents to external tools, and secure remote MCP servers with enterprise-grade authorization

Descope, the drag & drop external IAM platform, today announced the launch of the Agentic Identity Hub, an industry-first platform that helps organizations solve authentication and authorization challenges for AI agents, systems, and workflows. Notable additions include providing apps an easy way to become agent-ready while requiring user consent, providing agents a scalable way to connect with 50+ third-party tools and enterprise systems, and helping developers using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) protect their remote MCP servers with purpose-built authorization APIs and SDKs.

As agents, LLMs, and other AI systems become increasingly embedded into enterprise and consumer workflows, developers struggle with the dual challenge of securely connecting these AI systems to external SaaS tools and ensuring their own apps properly authenticate AI agents with the right level of access and human oversight. As the industry converges on a few key standards to power identity infrastructure for agentic builds (e.g. OAuth, MCP), developers face the choice between spending time to become experts in these protocols to build and manage authentication for AI systems, or risking identity spoofing, tool misuse, privilege compromise, and other threats described in the OWASP Top 10 for GenAI. This developer complexity contributes to the fact that less than two-fifths of GenAI projects go into production.

The Descope no / low code external IAM platform helps organizations easily create, modify, and manage journeys for their consumers, business customers, partners, and APIs / AI agents using visual workflows. Hundreds of customers including GoFundMe, Databricks, Navan, and You.com use Descope to enhance customer experience, help prevent account takeover, and get a 360 view of their customer and machine identities.
