Would MCP server operators sign up for a per-agent auth marketplace?
zach-benson · reddit · 2026-11-10
Before building, the author is testing an idea: a marketplace where you list your MCP server and agents discover and connect through it. You pick the network as an auth provider (like Auth0), and it issues each agent its own scoped, revocable token under your rules:
- Reads, writes, and payments as separate scopes
- Per-agent limits and spend caps
- Revoke one agent without signing the user out
- Logs of which agent called what
You keep your own accounts. The post asks operators: would you sign up, would you trust a third party to issue tokens for writes/payments or reads only, and what would make it a hard no?
