Securely manage AI model access with per-user keys and audit trails

Managing access to AI models, particularly for internal tools like MCP, requires careful consideration of security and user management. A common pitfall is using a single shared URL for all team members, which creates a shared credential with no audit trail or individual revocation capabilities. This can lead to security risks if a team member leaves the company, as their access may persist unknowingly. A more robust approach involves issuing unique keys to each developer, storing these keys in client configurations rather than shared repositories, and implementing a system that logs key usage for auditing purposes. This per-user key management allows for individual revocation and rotation without impacting the entire team's access, and can be extended to manage access across different environments like staging and production.

    When a Teammate Leaves, You Should Not Have to Rotate the Whole MCP URL

    <p>The first MCP server my team stood up, we handed out one URL. It went into Slack. It went into three people's Cursor configs. It went into a shared <code>.cursor/mcp.json</code> checked into the repo. It had no auth. It worked for everyone, immediately, and that was the proble…
