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.

Vendor claim

AI agents and MCP servers can be registered as first-class identities in Okta Universal Directory with an assigned human owner.

Limit: Product page does not state which agent platforms can be registered automatically versus manually.
