The company says its hub already handles authentication for more than a thousand MCP servers.

Last read 2026-11-05 ## What Descope does for this layer ### From the vendor's own pages Descope announced Agentic Identity Hub 3.0 on 15 Oct 2026 from Los Altos, California, adding governance for the AI agents and MCP servers organisations run internally. ([descope.com](https://www.descope.com/press-release/agentic-identity-hub-3), dated 2026-10-15) Agentic Identity Hub 3.0 added an Agentic Governance Suite in which employees request a new agent and the resources it needs, and the request is reviewed before anything is provisioned. ([descope.com](https://www.descope.com/press-release/agentic-identity-hub-3), dated 2026-10-15) Descope's 3.0 release integrates with MCP gateways including agentgateway, an open source project of the Agentic AI Foundation, to put one identity and policy layer in front of agents and MCP servers. ([descope.com](https://www.descope.com/press-release/agentic-identity-hub-3), dated 2026-10-15) Descope's 3.0 release lets agents authenticate with keys and certificates instead of static secrets and issues ID-JAG tokens so internal agents reach MCP servers through the organisation's existing identity provider. ([descope.com](https://www.descope.com/press-release/agentic-identity-hub-3), dated 2026-10-15) Descope lets a company register its product APIs as OAuth-protected resource servers so AI agents get scoped, delegated access without changes to the API logic. ([descope.com](https://www.descope.com/use-cases/ai)) Descope exposes MCP servers to AI agents with OAuth 2.1, client registration, consent and Cross-App Access through the customer's existing identity providers. ([descope.com](https://www.descope.com/use-cases/ai)) Descope's Free Forever plan costs USD 0 for 7,500 monthly active users, 2,000 monthly active consents and 2,000 monthly active tokens; the next plan starts at USD 249 a month. ([descope.com](https://www.descope.com/pricing)) ### Claims the vendor makes about itself Descope says its Agentic Identity Hub handles authentication and access control for 1000+ MCP servers and millions of monthly agentic transactions. ([descope.com](https://www.descope.com/press-release/agentic-identity-hub-3), dated 2026-10-15) Descope's AI use-case page shows Databricks, You.com, 6Sense and Cequence among its AI customers.
