How to setup Agentic Identity for your agents

Jun 18, 2026

Learn about two emerging topics in AI Engineering:

This will be most valuable for people who are interested in AI Eng for enterprise.

And also for those of you who are building MCP servers.

Topics from this week’s video

Establish agentic identity fundamentals
- Define agentic identity and explain benefits
Set up the demo architecture
- Outline the flow using Descope, MCP, and Google Drive
- Show the stack:
  - Use Claude Code and Codex clients
  - Run a FastMCP server to provide Google Drive access
Tour the repo and configure OAuth
- Walk through the repo and README setup
- Set up Google OAuth:
  - Enable the Drive API
  - Add OAuth credentials to Descope
Build the MCP auth layer
- Create a Descope MCP server with Drive scope
- Connect auth to FastMCP:
  - Use Descope as the Python auth provider
  - Use Descope tokens to call Google Drive
Run Claude and Codex
- Run Claude Code through browser auth and Drive connection
- Repeat with Codex:
  - Show MCP auth discovery
  - Demonstrate separate identities and tokens

Mastery is the best goal because the rich can’t buy it, the impatient can’t rush it, the privileged can’t inherit it, and nobody can steal it.
