MCP's Enterprise-Managed Authorization extension goes stable, adopted by Anthropic, Microsoft, and Okta

InfoQ·medium signal

The MCP team promoted its Enterprise-Managed Authorization extension to stable, giving organizations a centralized way to gate access to MCP servers through their existing identity provider rather than per-server static credentials. It has already been adopted by Anthropic, Microsoft, Okta, and a growing list of servers. This directly attacks the long-flagged 'MCP authentication crisis' (majority static-credential auth) by making IdP-brokered access the default enterprise path.
