Agentic Data Plane

Set Up Authentication

Agents and tools authenticate through OAuth. Enable user-delegated access so agents act as the signed-in user, register an OAuth provider when you want to manage one yourself, and connect remote MCP clients.

  • Configure an OAuth Provider

    Register an OAuth provider in Agentic Data Plane so MCP servers can authenticate users (or service accounts) against an upstream system like Slack, Jira, GitHub, or Salesforce.

  • Configure User-Delegated OAuth

    Have each end-user authenticate against the MCP server's upstream system with their own credentials. Redpanda stores their token in the vault and injects it at call time.

  • Set Up GitHub OAuth Provider and MCP Server

    Complete walkthrough for configuring GitHub as an OAuth provider and creating a user-delegated GitHub MCP server.

  • Connect Remote MCP Clients

    Connect external MCP clients to MCP servers in AI Gateway using client metadata documents, dynamic client registration, or manual registration.
