Auth0 has announced the General Availability of Auth for MCP, an identity layer for securing Model Context Protocol servers. Without authentication, any AI agent can access an MCP server with no identity or permission checks. Auth for MCP addresses three key patterns: customer agents accessing your platform, end-user agents interacting with your product, and internal employee agents. The GA release includes authentication and authorization support, Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD) client registration as a replacement for Dynamic Client Registration, On-Behalf-Of (OBO) token exchange for downstream API calls, and native support for MCP resource identifiers. The solution integrates with existing Auth0 setups and works with agents like Claude, Cursor, VSCode, and ChatGPT.
