Bring Your Own Identity Provider to Harness MCP

Oct 21, 2026 By Piyush Patel In Harness
Learn how Harness MCP OAuth proxy mode enables enterprise developers to use their own identity provider without static tokens or shared credentials. OAuth proxy mode lets enterprises run Harness MCP behind their own identity provider, with no static tokens anywhere in the chain. Coding agents write the change. Harness agents take it through production, running the builds, tests, scans, and deployments that follow, with policy enforced on every action.
