Advanced AI tools for Okta: Tako AI Agent & MCP Server Updates

You asked, we delivered.

Significant Progress on AI tools – Toward Full Identity Automation

Since introducing Tako AI Agent and Okta MCP Server, we’ve seen remarkable adoption across IAM teams worldwide. Today, we’re sharing the most substantial updates to both platforms – updates that address the real-world challenges you’ve shared with us and move us significantly closer to autonomous identity operations while maintaining enterprise security standards.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Community

Before diving into the technical achievements, we want to express our deepest gratitude to the IAM professionals who have adopted these tools. Your feedback, feature requests, and real-world use cases have directly shaped these updates. Custom attribute support and device management capabilities were the most requested features – you’ve driven our roadmap.

Special thanks to those who’ve provided detailed feedback, reported bugs, and shared success stories. Your trust in our beta releases has accelerated development significantly.

Tako AI Agent v0.6.0-beta: The Enterprise-Ready Revolution

🏢 Custom User Attributes: Finally, Your Unique Data Model

The #1 requested feature is here! Tako now syncs and queries custom user attributes that your organization has defined in Okta. Whether it’s employee IDs, cost centers, or specialized department codes – Tako understands your unique data model.

Example queries now possible:

  • “Show me all users with department ‘Finance’ who haven’t logged in for 30 days”
  • “Find users with cost center ‘TECH-001’ who have MFA bypass enabled”
  • “List all contractors (userType=‘Contractor’) with admin roles”

📱 Sync Okta Devices Data

Tako can now sync (optional) all Okta devices and their user relationships into the local database, providing comprehensive device lifecycle management with full user-device relationship tracking. Monitor security posture, compliance status, and device analytics across your entire fleet.

Device queries now possible:

  • “Show me all unmanaged iOS devices with users in the Finance group”
  • “Find Windows devices without screen locks enrolled by high-risk users”
  • “List all devices that haven’t checked in for 7+ days with their user details”

🔒 Enterprise-Grade Security Enhancements

  • SSL Certificate Support: Full support for self-signed and internal CA certificates
  • Deprovisioned User Analytics: Track and analyze deactivated accounts with temporal filtering
  • Enhanced API Optimization: Dramatically improved sync performance with intelligent rate limiting

🌐 Real-time Mode: Breaking MCP Context Limitations

Tako’s real-time capabilities now solve the fundamental limitations that plague traditional MCP implementations:

  • No More Data Volume Constraints: Process datasets far larger than typical AI context windows
  • Intelligent Tool Selection: Tako automatically chooses the right approach for each query
  • Cost-Effective Operations: Reduced token consumption through smart data sampling
  • Privacy-First Processing: Sensitive data stays local during processing

Okta MCP Server v0.1.0-BETA: Complete Architectural Transformation

🚀 FastMCP 2.0: Future-Proof Foundation

We’ve completely rebuilt the Okta MCP Server with FastMCP 2.0, delivering:

  • Cutting-Edge Protocol Features: Access to the latest MCP capabilities as they’re developed
  • Cleaner, Maintainable Code: Removed legacy dependencies for simplified architecture
  • Enhanced Performance: Modern async patterns and optimized request handling

🔐 Enterprise Authentication & Authorization

  • JWT Bearer Token Support: Full enterprise authentication with jwks_uri validation
  • Scope-Based Access: Granular permission controls for different user roles
  • Enterprise Auth Flows: Support for complex organizational authentication patterns

🛠️ Enhanced Developer Experience

  • Unified CLI Client: Single command-line interface supporting multiple transports
  • Better Error Handling: Comprehensive validation and informative error messages
  • Improved Documentation: AI-optimized tool descriptions for better model understanding

The Power of Integration: SOAR-Level Workflows

The combination of Tako’s real-time capabilities and the enhanced MCP Server creates Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) workflows that were previously impossible:

Automated Incident Response

“A user failed MFA 5 times in the last hour – suspend their account, remove from sensitive groups, create an incident ticket in Jira, and notify the security team in Slack”

Compliance Auditing at Scale

“Generate a quarterly access review report for all users with admin privileges, export to our compliance SharePoint, and schedule follow-up tasks for managers”

Proactive Security Management

“Find all devices that haven’t updated their security policies in 30 days, send push notifications to users, and escalate unresponsive devices to IT”

Looking Ahead: The Autonomous Future

These updates bring us significantly closer to our vision of fully autonomous identity management. Our roadmap includes:

Coming Soon

  • Approval Workflows: Human-in-the-loop controls for sensitive operations
  • Self-Healing Infrastructure: Automatic remediation of common identity issues
  • Predictive Access Management: AI-driven recommendations for access rights
  • Complete Admin Automation: Full lifecycle management with minimal human intervention
