Learn how to secure agentic commerce using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Auth0. Explore OAuth 2.1 flows for AI agents.

Auth0's platform is a  identity management solution, offering insights into authentication, authorization, and user management for web and mobile applications. Through articles, tutorials, and documentation, Auth0 offers insights into securing applications with modern identity protocols like OAuth and OpenID Connect. Developers can learn about implementing single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and user authorization policies to enhance application security and user experience.

AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are becoming the new interface for consumer commerce, capable of discovering products, checking inventory, and completing purchases. To participate in this shift, retailers need to expose their APIs via MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. However, opening these servers to third-party agents creates serious security risks. Auth0 addresses this with OAuth 2.1-based authorization for MCP, covering dynamic client registration, scoped access tokens, token exchange for internal microservices, and Token Vault for third-party credentials — creating a zero-trust chain from AI agent to backend systems.
