MCP had it's latest official spec revision on July 28th. Although from an authorization point of view, it wasn't quite as large of a change as the previous official revision, there were some important callouts worth mentioning. I wrote a blog about what those changes were, and how they relate to authorization, go check it out if you're curious! 👇 Blog: https://lnkd.in/gC5FZE3s

If you're trying to list your MCP server on Claude's Marketplace, it can greatly speed up your review process if you support CIMD (Client ID Metadata Documents) out of the box. If you're building an MCP server and would like to support CIMD, but don't have the time to research and understand what CIMD even is, Descope can help with that!

On most MCP servers, a summarizing agent and a production agent get the same access. This lack of scope-based access is one of several security gaps worth closing. We've compiled the most common identity considerations for teams looking to ship production-grade MCP servers. Track the checklist against your current MCP server build.

SSO for agents is here. Agents can sign in through existing identity providers instead of long-lived API keys or shared credentials. That's what enterprise security reviews have been asking for. Your customers approve and revoke agent access themselves, with every agent action tracing back to the delegating user. See how Descope Cross-App Access fits your agentic stack.
