Secure, Standards-Driven Foundation for MCP
Enable AI agent workflows with a standardized foundation built for Model Context Protocol (MCP) and enterprise-grade security.
Challenge
AI Agents without Standards and Security
AI agents and MCP unlock powerful automation, but most enterprises lack the identity foundation to support them. Without standards-based discovery and predictable metadata, MCP quickly becomes fragile, risky, and nearly impossible to scale securely. Agents then rely on ad-hoc discovery, MCP servers expose sensitive APIs, and workloads shift unpredictably between human and machine contexts.
Impact
MCP Becomes Too Risky to Deploy
Without standardized discovery and stable metadata, AI agents may not be able to consume your MCP servers. Sensitive APIs become exposed, and machine clients sprawl without control. As AI clients scale into the thousands, gaps amplify, governance collapses, and MCP becomes too risky to deploy—stalling automation and putting enterprises behind stronger, standards-based competitors.
Duende IdentityServer customers:
Trusted by over 2500 of the world's most standards-based and security-conscious organizations.
Solution
Standards-based security backbone for MCP servers
Duende IdentityServer gives developers a unified, secure identity layer purpose-built for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and AI agent tooling. Teams can safely expose high-value data, onboard new vendors faster, and eliminate inconsistent, ad-hoc authorization.
Secure MCP Server Foundation:
Full RFC 8414 and 7591 standardization eliminates guesswork and ensures correct agent behavior
