TELEPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IDENTITY PLATFORM




Teleport secures the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard for connecting LLMs to data through standard, structured interfaces. With Teleport, you don't need to spin up a new security framework for MCP. MCP is a supported protocol (now generally available) within Teleport's Infrastructure Identity Platform, enabling companies to unify how they govern their human, machine, workload, device, and now AI identities. This enables companies to get a jumpstart on competition in driving innovation while preserving infrastructure resiliency.
Every AI action operating under zero trust principles
RBAC & ABAC, with least privileged access based on tasks
Identities that can't be lost, stolen, shared, phished
Audit records logged for every successful and failed query
Thinking about integrating your LLMs with databases or MCP servers? First, you need to control access to the LLMs.
Connect, authenticate, and audit every request to your self-hosted private LLMs, from simple Ollama proof-of-concepts to production Kubernetes NVIDIA NIMs deployments. Secure access to the LLM API without exposing it publicly, both via Teleport VNet and TCP support in Teleport Application Access.

Often, the most relevant content for business applications is contained within internal databases. Teleport secures MCP access to databases and APIs, unleashing innovation while protecting data from unauthorized access and capturing all queries - successful or failed - in granular audit logs.

Organizations have a gold mine of APIs, functions, and data available to them. MCP Servers are a compelling way to share this data, but deploying an internal MCP service can easily become insecure and open a Pandora's box of security issues. Teleport governs dev access to MCP servers, as well as secures LLM to MCP server queries.

This demonstration shows how to secure MCP with the Teleport Infrastructure Identity platform. For technical viewers.
As enterprises operationalize AI and embed LLMs into core workflows, a new frontier in access and data governance has emerged: the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Securing the Model Context Protocol: Access, Authorization, and Audit for Enterprise AI unpacks the security risks and governance challenges MCP introduces, and why traditional models fall short in protecting LLM-powered systems. This white paper explores how extending Infrastructure Identity to MCP workflows unifies access control across human, machine, and AI identities—eliminating static credentials, enforcing task-based authorization, and ensuring audit-ready visibility.
Download the white paper to learn how your organization can future-proof AI deployments with secure, policy-driven control that scales with innovation.


Teleport Secure MCP is now available (on premises).
