Anthropic adds enterprise-managed MCP connectors with Okta for zero-touch provisioning

Anthropic Release Notes (Releasebot)·medium signal

Anthropic introduced enterprise-managed MCP connector access starting with Okta, letting admins provision a connector once and have users get zero-touch access on first login, with centralized authorization spanning Claude chat, Claude Code, and Cowork for Team and Enterprise plans. This moves MCP from per-user manual setup toward governed, IdP-brokered connector distribution. For builders, it signals MCP maturing into an enterprise-administered control plane rather than an ad-hoc developer integration.
