The future of identity-aware AI starts now
AI agents are becoming integral to enterprise workflows, from analyzing risk to making dynamic access decisions in real time. But as these agents evolve, so must the systems they interact with. At Silverfort, we’ve taken a bold step forward in enabling secure, intelligent, and scalable identity integration with AI: introducing the Silverfort MCP Server.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a new open protocol that empowers AI systems to discover and interact with enterprise tools through standard interfaces. Originally developed by Anthropic, MCP is now becoming the de facto interface for AI agent integrations. With the launch of our own Silverfort-hosted MCP server, agents can now directly tap into the power of the Silverfort Identity Security Platform in real time, in a secure and contextual way.
What is MCP and why it matters
MCP enables AI agents to connect with external systems like databases, APIs, and services using a structured and standardized protocol. Rather than relying on brittle, hard-coded integrations, MCP allows for dynamic tool discovery, schema introspection, and natural language querying of live data. This makes AI agents more adaptable and maintainable, as well as easier to scale across diverse environments.
With MCP, AI agents like Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor can access systems with context-aware intelligence. They are no longer guessing—they are asking, understanding, and acting.
Why it matters
MCP represents a fundamental shift in how AI systems interface with enterprise infrastructure. Until now, connecting an AI model to business systems required complex engineering work, custom code, and frequent updates as systems changed. MCP replaces that with a universal, language-model-friendly interface, removing friction from integration and accelerating deployment.
This shift unlocks a wide range of possibilities:
- Increased Autonomy: Agents can independently explore available tools, understand their capabilities, and determine how to use them effectively without manual intervention.
- Reduced Integration Overhead: Engineering teams no longer need to build and maintain interfaces for every AI tool. A single MCP-compliant layer can serve many agents.
- More Intelligent Behavior: With structured access to real-time data and operations, agents can reason more accurately, make better decisions, and perform complex workflows safely.
- Faster Innovation Cycles: As tools evolve or new systems are introduced, MCP enables plug-and-play compatibility, making it easier to experiment and iterate.
Meet the Silverfort MCP Server
To bring the power of MCP to enterprise identity security, we’ve launched the Silverfort MCP Server, hosted at https://raven.silverfort.io/mcp. We are one of the first identity security companies to embrace this new protocol, arming our customers with the tools they need to be efficient, yet secure. This provides a direct and secure conduit for AI agents to interact with Silverfort’s core capabilities, including:
Natural Language Policy Management
- List, retrieve, update, and delete security policies
- Execute advanced policy filtering and searches
- Create dynamic workflows with AI copilots for policy changes
Intelligent Risk Assessment
- Get detailed risk profiles for users, devices, and resources
- Add or modify risk indicators with expiration and descriptions
- Use conversational prompts to drive targeted risk investigations
Streamable HTTP Architecture
Under the hood, the Silverfort MCP Server is built on Streamable HTTP, the latest and most robust MCP transport protocol. This allows for remote, concurrent, and stateless communication between your AI agents and the Silverfort cloud. It is also optimized for reliability and scalability.
You do not need to deploy, configure, or host anything yourself. The Silverfort MCP Server runs entirely in the cloud, making it immediately accessible to authorized clients like Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, and any other tools supporting the MCP client pattern.
While many other MCP implementations require you to clone repositories, spin up local servers, and wrestle with tunneling or NAT traversal to get started, Silverfort eliminates all of that. Our hosted MCP endpoint is available out of the box, with no setup gymnastics required.
Secure by design: Built on Silverfort’s Identity Security Platform
Security is non-negotiable when it comes to giving AI agents access to enterprise resources. That is why we recently announced Silverfort Security for AI, a groundbreaking capability designed to govern and protect AI agents with the same rigor applied to human identities.
In an upcoming release of the Silverfort MCP Server, organizations will be able to secure AI agents that interact with the MCP interface using Silverfort’s Security for AI framework. This will allow you to define which agents are permitted to access which tools, when, and under what conditions, bringing visibility and control to AI-powered access.
With Silverfort Security for AI, every action an AI agent takes through MCP will be:
- Tied to a human owner for full accountability
- Evaluated with least-privilege policies in real time
- Logged immutably to ensure a verifiable audit trail
- Governed by dynamic access controls that prevent misuse, overreach, or privilege escalation
By securing AI agents at the protocol layer, Silverfort empowers security teams to embrace AI without compromise.
A glimpse into the future
While today’s MCP capabilities focus on Silverfort policy and risk operations, this is only the beginning. We plan to deepen the context available to AI agents and expand their tools. Think of the MCP interface as a browser for your AI agent, complete with its own plugins, environment, and permissions. As MCP adoption matures, we intend to let users enrich their agent’s context in increasingly intelligent and task-aware ways.
Imagine an agent that can:
- Search and filter policies based on natural language queries rather than IDs or tags
- Correlate policy configurations with live threat intelligence or recent auth activity
- Use system prompts and tool schemas to analyze logs and highlight risky behaviors automatically
We aim to create a more fluid, expressive interface between AI agents and the identity fabric of the enterprise, one that feels as natural to use as asking a colleague for help.
Getting started with Silverfort’s MCP Server
Setting up your connection to the Silverfort MCP server is easy:
- Install Claude Desktop or your preferred MCP-compatible client
- Configure it to connect to https://raven.silverfort.io/mcp
- Provide API credentials with appropriate Policy Management and Risk Assessment permissions
- Ask questions like:
- “What are the high-risk Silverfort policies active in my environment?”
- “Update policy pol_5678 to require MFA”
- “Check the risk score for user [email protected]”
In minutes, your AI agents can begin securely reasoning over live identity data.
A secure future for AI Agents
AI is reshaping enterprise architecture, and identity is at the core of that transformation. The Silverfort MCP Server brings secure AI access to the heart of identity security, enabling safer innovation and faster decision-making. Start building your AI-augmented identity workflow today.
