PingOne Remote MCP Server overview (early access)
The PingOne Remote MCP Server is a PingOne-hosted service that lets artificial intelligence (AI) clients connect to PingOne through a single remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint. The PingOne Remote MCP Server doesn’t require you to install or run a local MCP server yourself.
|
The PingOne Remote MCP Server is currently an Early Access feature. |
After configuring a supported client, users authenticate through PingOne with OAuth 2.0 and administrators can securely use MCP tools to administer PingOne.
What you can do
The PingOne Remote MCP Server uses a dedicated PingOne MCP Server platform application. This centralizes configuration and ensures a consistent connection model across supported MCP clients.
-
Connect supported AI clients, such as Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex CLI, to PingOne through a single remote server endpoint.
-
Sign on securely through PingOne using OAuth 2.0 instead of managing local server credentials on each machine.
-
Use MCP tools to work with PingOne administrative capabilities from your AI client, rather than depending only on the UI.
