Agent Gateway

Learn how Agent Gateways work in Okta.

Agent Gateway is an identity-native proxy that sits between AI agents and the enterprise tools that they call. It aggregates tools from multiple remote MCP servers behind a single Okta-secured endpoint, enforces identity and policy on every tool call, and produces a unified audit trail.

Agent Gateway eliminates the need for risky, long-lived API keys by intercepting AI agent requests. It authenticates them with Okta tokens, and securely injects downstream credentials so the AI agent never directly accesses them.

When you connect an AI agent and a gateway, Okta automatically establishes a resource connection between them. You can see the resource connection details on the AI agent's Resource connections tab.

For more detailed information on how the Agent Gateway works, see the Okta Agent Gateway developer guide.
