OAUTH

The MCP maintainers published an updated roadmap on August 22, 2026 with five priority areas, including progressive discovery for tool catalogs and standardized agent identity. Here is what changes for developers building MCP servers and agent platforms.

A practical comparison of the four authentication platforms developers reach for when connecting AI agents to third-party APIs: Arcade, Composio, Nango, and Stytch. OAuth 2.1, MCP support, integration counts, and which to pick by workload.

MCP's new Enterprise-Managed Authorization removes per-user OAuth friction. Anthropic, Okta, Figma, and Linear ship centralized auth for AI agent tooling.

Pre-configured or dynamic OAuth for remote MCP servers.

Gives AI agents access to 250+ external tools (GitHub, Slack, Gmail, databases) with managed OAuth. Handles the auth and API complexity so your agent doesn't have to.

Drop-in auth for React/Next.js. Pre-built sign-in UI, session management, user profiles, org management. This site uses Clerk for authentication.
