Learn how to implement OAuth authentication for AI agents in this conference talk by Jared Hanson, co-founder of Keycard and creator of Passport.js. Discover why sharing API keys with AI systems poses security risks and explore OAuth as a secure alternative for agent authentication. Examine the current state of authorization in Model Control Protocol (MCP) and understand how MCP clients can use OAuth to authenticate users and securely access private resources and tools from MCP servers. Explore methods for autonomous agents to utilize OAuth independently when communicating with other agents and MCP servers directly. Gain insights into building trustworthy agents that both humans and machines can rely on, drawing from Hanson's extensive experience in identity infrastructure, including his previous work at Okta and Auth0, and his expertise in OpenID and OAuth protocols.
