Descope Agentic Identity Hub

An identity provider for AI agents and MCP servers that registers OAuth clients (including dynamic client registration), records agentic identities created by user consent or tenant grants, and issues short-lived scoped credentials with policy-based access to protected APIs and MCP resources. Aimed at application builders rather than workforce IT.

Capabilities and evidence

Support labels reflect the supplied research. Documentation and vendor claims are not independent product tests. “Not established” means the researcher did not find support; it does not prove a capability is absent.

Documented by provider

The Hub registers and manages OAuth clients for agents via pre-registration, DCR, CIMD or JWT bearer for cloud workloads, and creates agentic identity records on consent or tenant grant.

Limit: Docs do not state throughput limits or supported cloud providers beyond AWS and GCP OIDC.

Version 2.5 added granular access policies for least-privilege agent access to MCP servers and backend APIs, using OAuth token exchange for delegated access with attribution and audits.
