Identities and Authentication for Your Agents With Keycloak - Takashi Norimatsu, Hitachi, Ltd. & Alexander Schwartz, IBM
AI agents and agentic workflows revolutionize the way we build applications, and the market is expanding rapidly. One of the developing standards of this integration is MCP.
The more capabilities we provide to agents and the more we integrate them, the more emphasis is on accurate and effective authorization for their activities.
Keycloak supports the authorization part of MCP. In this session, we will introduce the different versions of MCP, the capabilities of Keycloak, and show you how to configure Keycloak for using is as an authorization server for agents.
We also summarize other AI-related capabilities of Keylcoak like dynamic client registration, CIMD, and leveraging existing workload identities. Then we’ll look ahead at what AI features are on the roadmap of Keycloak in the coming months.
