Why is agent identity different than user identity?
⚙️ Agents are task-based, current API keys and OAuth scopes won't map 1:1
🤖 Agents are autonomous, so the concept of least privilege is critical
🤝 Agent intentions are "delegated", the bound user's identity is important

MCP auth is a series of cascading credentials
Your AI agent needs access to an MCP server, but that's just the first step. It also needs access to any...
🔐 OAuth-enabled APIs
🔐 APIs based on API keys
🔐 Other MCP servers
...that the initial MCP server interacts with.
