Identity for the AI Era

Secure it, build it, ship it. Govern AI agent workflows with standards-based identity infrastructure. Accelerate identity development with AI-powered Duende expertise. Two sides of the same foundation - securing MCP and building with it.

Challenge

Agents Need Governance

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 rely on ad-hoc discovery, MCP servers expose sensitive APIs, and workloads shift unpredictably between human and machine contexts - without the identity controls that enterprise governance demands.

Challenge

Tools Need Expertise

General-purpose AI models don't have deep knowledge of identity protocols and Duende-specific configuration. Ask how to configure refresh token rotation, wire up a federation gateway, or set up DPoP, and you'll get a response that's almost right. In identity, "close enough" isn't good enough.

Solution

Governed Agents

Expert Tooling

One Identity Foundation

Duende closes both gaps from the same foundation your team already trusts. Governance for what you deploy. Expertise for how you build it. Both rooted in the same identity infrastructure, the same standards, and the same team that helped write the specs.


Secure MCP with Duende IdentityServer

IdentityServer provides the standards-based identity governance layer that makes MCP deployable at enterprise scale.

Standards-Based Discovery

OAuth 2.0/OIDC discovery endpoints, Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), and stable metadata that MCP requires for secure agent-to-server communication.

Token-Based AI Governance

Issue, validate, and manage tokens for both human and machine identities. Scope-based access control, token lifetimes, and proof-of-possession (DPoP) ensure agents operate within defined boundaries.

Build Identity with AI-powered Duende Tools

Duende provides two complementary tools that give your AI coding assistant deep identity expertise - so the code it generates is correct, not just convincing. Duende Agent Skills and Duende Documentation MCP Server.
