Security and authentication are critical components of any enterprise-grade system. The MCP server implements multiple layers of protection, including dual authentication, scope-based access control, token rotation, and TLS/mTLS transport security. These measures safeguard sensitive data, prevent unauthorized tool invocation, and ensure interoperability with external identity providers through OAuth2 and PKCE flows. This topic provides an overview of the security and authentication mechanisms implemented in the MCP server. It explains how these mechanisms protect against unauthorized access, ensure secure communication, and maintain compliance with industry standards.
