The Agentic Identity Hub

Descope Agentic Identity Hub Demo: Fine‑Grained Access Control, OAuth, and Audit Logs for MCP AI Agents Check out Descope: https://descope.plug.dev/inU8swv The video demonstrates Descope's Agentic Identity Hub for centrally controlling what AI agents can access, reducing risk when agents interact with tools like Gmail or databases. It shows how Descope provides fine-grained permissions, OAuth-based authentication, a connections vault for API keys/tokens, and detailed logs tying tool usage to specific agents and users for audit and compliance. Using a deployed “Developers Digest research” MCP server, the presenter defines scopes to expose only search/scrape and read-only database access, then deploys an MCP gateway to Vercel and connects it in Codex/ChatGPT Desktop. A live authorization flow lets users toggle optional permissions, after which the agent reads a synthetic product catalog from Supabase and searches/scrapes pages for comparisons, illustrating how scoped access works in practice. 00:00 Why Agent Access Matters 00:35 Descope Hub Overview 01:20 Gateway and OAuth Vault 02:05 Setting Up Scopes 02:36 Templates and Consent 04:24 Live Code Walkthrough 05:56 Users and Audit Logs 07:03 Multiple Servers Strategy 07:29 Auth Flow in Codex 09:03 Demo Results and Wrap Up 09:54 Final Thoughts and Outro
