Descope Releases the Agentic Identity Hub, an End-to-End Authentication Platform for AI Agent Ecosystems

Descope, the drag and drop external IAM platform, is introducing the Agentic Identity Hub, a 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 more than 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.

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, according to the vendor.

Capabilities announced include:

• Inbound Apps provide every application with an easy way to become its own identity provider using the OAuth standard. This allows AI agents to securely authenticate, access authorized user data, and take scoped actions on behalf of users with their explicit consent.
• Outbound Apps provide every AI agent builder with a secure, scalable way to connect AI agents to external tools without having to manually manage and store tokens, scopes, and permissions. Developers can choose from over 50 out-of-the-box tool integration templates including Gmail, HubSpot, GitHub, Snowflake, Slack, Notion, and Shopify.
• MCP Auth SDKs and APIs that help developers build and manage remote MCP servers secure their systems with robust authorization controls as well as extend the MCP servers’ functionality by connecting them with multiple OAuth-based services.

“As AI systems make our lives easier, we must ensure the lives of developers building AI don’t become harder,” said Slavik Markovich, co-founder and CEO of Descope. “The Agentic Identity Hub provides a set of tools to help developers spend more time on the interesting work of building and fine-tuning their AI systems and hardly any time on the nitty-gritties of authentication and access control. True enterprise AI adoption won’t happen without a robust, interoperable identity infrastructure working behind the scenes, and we’re excited to be a part of that infrastructure.”
