Model Context Protocol Server
The SailPoint Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server functions as a bridge between 3rd-party AI agents and Identity Security Cloud, providing MCP-compliant tools that enable seamless and scalable interactions with SailPoint services. The MCP server translates AI agents' requests into API calls and orchestrates workloads based on live traffic.
Getting Started
For directions and guidance on registering an agentic application, setting up the MCP server, sample prompts, and using MCP Inspector to validate your configurations, refer to the Model Context Protocol documentation in the Developer Community.
When you have completed your setup, you can use the MCP server to support access requests.
Using the MCP Server for Access Requests
The SailPoint MCP server acts as a translation layer between AI agents through Anthropic MCP and SailPoint APIs to provide standardized interfaces for initiating, canceling, and querying access requests.
The MCP server can support the following actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| List Requestable Items | AI agents can query the list of items that are requestable by the user. |
| Initiate Access Request | When the AI agent is asked or detects that the interacting user is lacking access to an item, the AI agent can initiate access requests for items the user cannot currently access. |
| Query Access Request Status | AI agents can use the access request ID to report on the status of the access requests. |
| Cancel Access Request | AI agents can cancel pending access requests. |
Viewing Audit Events from the MCP Server
When you create or cancel access requests through the MCP server, audit events are generated and displayed in Identity Security Cloud. You can find these events using Search.
Access requests that are created using the MCP server will have a comment that says Requested by AI on behalf of <identity>, and canceled requests will say Canceled by AI on behalf of the user <identity>.
