| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | The official server documents scoped device authentication. | Okta documents Device Authorization Grant for interactive use and private-key JWT for headless operation. The distinct Okta Managed MCP Server is Early Access in Production; the reviewed Okta Open Source MCP Server remains GA. |
| Cost | The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply. | The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply. |
| Permissions | Auth0 tenant roles, Management API scopes, and device-authorization grants govern tools. | OAuth scopes dynamically filter tools, runtime guards enforce scopes again, and Okta roles determine effective authority. |
| Data handling | Authorized service data and tool results pass through the MCP server to the connected AI client. Review the publisher and client data policies before using sensitive security information. | Authorized service data and tool results pass through the MCP server to the connected AI client.

| Risk context | The publisher labels the implementation Beta and not ready for production use. Use a test environment where practical, least-privilege credentials, narrowly enabled tools, and explicit confirmation for mutations. MCP100 did not execute third-party server code during this documentation review. | Identity mutations can lock out users or change security posture; destructive actions require supported client confirmation.
