AI & MCP
Model Context Protocol server for AI agent access.
AI agents need credentials, system access, and approval workflows. 12Port speaks MCP natively so agents authenticate, request credentials, and run actions through the same broker your human operators use.
What it is
A standard MCP endpoint inside the 12Port broker.
Point any MCP-capable agent at the 12Port MCP endpoint, configure the agent identity in the IdP, and the agent gets the same credential vaulting, session brokering, and audit recording as a human user. No SDK to install, no proprietary protocol. MCP is the standard.
How it works
Credential request, broker, record, rotate.
Agent calls MCP, 12Port checks policy and approval workflow, vault releases a short-lived credential, the broker opens the connection, every action is recorded, and credentials are rotated when the task ends. The agent never holds long-lived secrets.
Approval workflows
Human-in-the-loop when the policy says so.
For high-sensitivity actions, configure the agent to request human approval. The broker pauses the session, sends the approver a summary, and resumes only after the approver signs off. Standard for regulated environments.
