Introducing the next era of Duende IdentityServer.
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.
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.
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.
Trusted by over 2,500 of the world's most standards-based and security-conscious organizations
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.
IdentityServer provides the standards-based identity governance layer that makes MCP deployable at enterprise scale.
OAuth 2.0/OIDC discovery endpoints, Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), and stable metadata that MCP requires for secure agent-to-server communication.
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.
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.
Reduce security risk with standards-based governance. Scale to thousands of agents without manual credential management. Ship identity code that's correct on the first pass. Built on IETF-aligned protocols by the team that helped write them - so your identity foundation evolves as fast as your AI stack demands.
