🚀 AI Launch Week Day 1: Your dedicated identity provider for AI agents
Introducing @descopeinc Agentic Identity Hub 2.0 - a one-stop solution to help developers and security teams add auth, access control, credential management, and policies to their AI systems.
🧵👇
Amazing to be in the company of some of the most agent-forward organizations to pioneer this interoperable ecosystem of Cross-App Access (XAA)!
Cross-App Access enables standardized agent access across applications, APIs, and MCP servers. But no standard is a one-person show. That’s why I was delighted when a friend sent me this photo from Oktane this week, because it perfectly captures how XAA is an ecosystem-level initiative. I underlined Descope because I’m biased :)
Whether organizations are trying to enable standardized access to their MCP servers or scoped permissions for their AI agents, continued adoption of standards like XAA will be critical.
Thank you to @aaronpk , Den Dalimarsky, Nick Steele, @zirotrust, our very own Kevin Gao, and many others for moving XAA forward!
New on the Descope blog: Build Auth-Ready MCP Apps with @descopeinc and @Skybridge_ai .

🤖 That's Day 1 of @aiDotEngineer Paris in the books - thank you to the @MistralAI team for the warm welcome!
Stop by Booth 26 to chat with @descopeinc about building enterprise-ready AI agents and MCP servers with built-in identity controls.
Happy to announce we’ve expanded our hosting regions to Singapore, Brazil, and the UK!
This brings Descope’s multi-region data residency capabilities to 7 regions worldwide (along with US, EU, Canada, and Australia).

@Navan
It's because of you that we continue expanding the frontier of identity in the rapidly growing world of agent integrations!
The easier software is to build, the easier it is to get wrong at scale
In auth, devs have spent decades working through what works & fails - those lessons are embedded in modern apps
When you rebuild auth from scratch with AI, you end up with the same mistakes

🌎 @descopeinc projects can now be created in three additional regions: Singapore, Brazil, and the UK.
They join the United States, European Union, Canada, and Australia, bringing multi-region data residency to seven regions across four continents.

@descopeinc +Skybridge = Enterprise-ready MCP Apps
Text-only responses in AI interfaces hamper usability. Sometimes a user needs to click a button, fill in a form, or see a map. MCP Apps bridge this gap, and Descope + Skybridge make it easier than ever to build MCP Apps.
🧵👇
☑️ Use the full-stack TypeScript framework from Skybridge to build your MCP App
☑️ Use Descope to have your MCP App inherit a prod-grade authorization server
It was super fun working with the @alpic_ai team on this!

Session management is important, friends
If you're planning to use JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) to maintain auth state between calls, it's helpful to keep some best practices in mind 👇
