Summary

AuthZed has launched two new MCP servers, the AuthZed MCP Server and the SpiceDB Dev MCP Server, designed to enhance AI workflows and facilitate the use of SpiceDB for application permissions. The AuthZed MCP Server provides seamless access to extensive SpiceDB and AuthZed documentation, API references, and authorization pattern examples directly within AI tools, making it easier for users to learn and reference materials. The SpiceDB Dev MCP Server integrates into development workflows, allowing AI coding assistants to interact with a sandboxed SpiceDB instance to aid in schema development, relationship testing, and permission checking. These servers aim to streamline the learning and development process by providing instant access to necessary resources and tools. The development of these servers was driven by the team's positive experiences with AI coding tools and the desire to make resources readily accessible. AuthZed emphasizes the importance of implementing robust access controls and permissions for MCP servers as they gain more powerful capabilities, and they offer detailed documentation and guidelines to help users utilize these servers safely and effectively.
