Anthropic introduced enterprise-managed MCP connector access starting with Okta, letting admins provision a connector once so users get zero-touch access on first login, with centralized authorization across Claude chat, Claude Code, and Cowork on Team and Enterprise plans. This moves MCP from per-user manual setup toward IdP-brokered, governed distribution. It's a sign MCP is maturing into an enterprise control plane rather than an ad-hoc developer integration, and it's the legitimate counterweight to the tool-poisoning risk above. Governed connector distribution is exactly the network-layer control the security researchers are asking for.

The EMA extension lets organizations gate MCP server access through their existing identity provider instead of per-server static credentials. That directly attacks the long-flagged authentication crisis where most MCP auth was static tokens sitting in config. If you run MCP s...
