Workload Identity for MCP Servers & AI Agents

Workload Identity for MCP Servers & AI Agents

Secure, verifiable identities for autonomous workloads.
AuthSec provides first-class workload identity for MCP servers and AI agents, enabling authenticated, attested communication between services without user interaction.

What This Solves

Autonomous systems need identity without human login. AuthSec enables AI agents and MCP servers to authenticate securely and communicate with other workloads using cryptographic identity.

• No user sessions

• No API keys stored in code

• No long-lived secrets

How It Works

1. Each MCP server or AI agent is issued a unique workload identity

2. Identity is verified using mutual TLS (mTLS)

3. AuthSec performs workload authentication and attestation

4. A short-lived, workload-bound credential is issued

5. Workloads communicate securely with other authorized services

Core Capabilities

• Workload identity for MCP servers and AI agents

• Mutual TLS (mTLS) based authentication

• Cryptographic attestation of workloads

• Short-lived, auto-rotated credentials

• Zero-trust, least-privilege access model

Designed for Autonomous Systems

• AI agents calling APIs

• MCP servers communicating with other MCP servers

• Agent-to-agent and agent-to-service authentication

• Background jobs and non-interactive workloads

Security Benefits

• Eliminates static API keys and shared secrets

• Strong identity verification at the transport layer

• Reduced blast radius with short-lived credentials

• Prevents impersonation and lateral movement

Recommended Usage

Use workload identity for all non-human access and combine it with OAuth 2.1 user auth and MFA for a complete identity and access strategy.
