Summary

PropelAuth argues that enterprise MCP authorization should be governed centrally rather than left solely to individual users who connect AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor. Its organization scopes restrict access to shared organizational resources according to existing product roles, allowing only authorized roles such as Owners or Admins to grant sensitive permissions, while still permitting lower-privileged users to access appropriate tools. Enterprise SSO integrates MCP authentication with customer identity providers such as Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, applying existing sign-in policies, role mappings, group changes, and offboarding processes to AI connections. MCP servers can validate tokens for granted scopes, organization identity, and user roles, while audit logs record client creation, consent changes, and revocations. The approach emphasizes least privilege through individually selectable scopes, recommends separate scopes for sensitive capabilities such as billing or customer-data export, and positions centralized, role-based, auditable AI access as an increasingly important enterprise security requirement.
