The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is facing criticism for its complexity, but the real challenge in enterprise adoption lies in identity and governance, not the protocol itself. Implementing MCP at scale requires robust identity provider integration for centralized authorization, where administrators provision connectors to groups, allowing employees to inherit access upon login. This approach bypasses the need for per-user OAuth and IT tickets, significantly streamlining onboarding and access management. Additionally, a central, vetted catalog of MCP servers is crucial to prevent shadow IT and ensure agents only access approved and secured tools. AI
