Bad MCP practices:

↳ Handing out static API keys like candy.

Your AI agent now has the master key to the database. Forever.

↳ Granting broad, admin-level access.

An HR chatbot doesn't need to see the financial records.

↳ Zero logging on what the AI actually accesses.

"Wait, which customer data did our agent pull last night?" → 🤷‍♂️

Good MCP practices:

↳ Short-lived, dynamic credentials.

Credentials that automatically expire, eliminating the risk of static key sprawl.

↳ Strict least-privilege access controls.

Policies that guarantee each agent can only access the specific data it needs.

↳ Comprehensive audit trails for every interaction.

Complete logs of which user triggered which agent to access what data and when.

AI innovation, without the security nightmares.

This is the exact gap Teleport's Infrastructure Identity Platform fills.

Identity governance for AI systems:

✅ Replace static keys with unique, verifiable identities for every AI agent and MCP server.

✅ Enforce least-privilege and just-in-time access for every AI-to-data connection.

✅ Get a single pane for all human and AI activity with detailed session logs.
