"Scalekit 's authentication stack, purpose-built for agentic apps, is tailored for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, allowing security teams to easily add an OAuth 2.1 authorization server. According to the startup, its solution enables developers to rapidly add an encrypted token vault, along with a tool-calling layer, so that AI agents can act on a user's behalf in popular services such as Gmail, HubSpot, Notion, and Slack."
"Scalekit says it is also considering expanding its agent-centric identity roadmap with background agent support, granular authentication logs, deepened tool-calling, and prebuilt connectors for more than 1,000 external apps. "For years, software focused on blocking bots. Now business apps must let authenticated agents in and decide exactly what data they can read or write. Scalekit sits at that intersection of verifying every agent's identity and enforcing precise, least-privilege access through a single drop-in toolkit," Scalekit co-founder and CEO Satya Devarakonda said."
Scalekit raised $5.5 million in a seed funding round co-led by Together Fund and Z47 with support from several angel investors. The company built a developer toolkit to verify AI agent identity and secure both incoming authentication and outgoing agent actions. The authentication stack is purpose-built for agentic apps and tailored for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling quick addition of an OAuth 2.1 authorization server. The solution includes an encrypted token vault and a tool-calling layer so AI agents can act on users' behalf in services like Gmail, HubSpot, Notion, and Slack. Modular features include two-factor OTPs, email magic links, single sign-on, machine-to-machine tokens, step-up approvals, and user-to-agent delegated consent. Roadmap considerations include background agent support, granular authentication logs, deeper tool-calling, and prebuilt connectors for over 1,000 external apps.
