Introducing Prefactor: Agent Identity for MCP Has Arrived

MCP works. Now it’s secure. Prefactor is the missing identity layer for agent-to-software access.

🚀 Prefactor is Live — The First Agent Identity Platform for MCP

After 4 intense months of building, we’re officially live with Prefactor — the world’s first Agent Identity platform for Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) built from the ground up for Agents.

Today, we’re launching our interactive, production-grade demo, showing secure AI agent-to-software interaction via Prefactor.

Keep an eye out for our next update as we will be announcing the launch of Prefactor’s first international distribution partnership.

 

🤖 What is MCP?

Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming the backbone of agent-driven software. It’s the open standard powering the shift from chatbots to fully autonomous agents that drive real business value.

With MCP, agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can securely read, write, and take action in external apps — all through natural language.

 

⚙️ Why Prefactor Exists

AI agents are accessing software for the first time.

There was no identity platform to manage these interactions safely — no way to authenticate agents, control what they could do, or audit their actions.

So we built one.

Since MCP launched over 30,000 MCP Projects have gone live and adoption is accelerating. From Day 1 startups through to Mega Banks.

Prefactor is leading the way in secure agent identity — giving teams the infrastructure they need to trust, control, and scale agent-powered software.

Prefactor is the access layer for the agent economy.

 

🧠 What This Changes

Before: AI agents were just smart chatbots.
Now: They can securely log in, take action, and collaborate inside your tools.

Agents become autonomous workers — with full audit trails, scoped permissions, and secure credentials.

 

🔐 What We're Building

Prefactor is identity infrastructure for the MCP ecosystem.
We let software vendors verify, authorize, and audit every agent interaction.

✅ Identify the agent
✅ Control what it can access
✅ Track every action

Our vision

We are the first company in the world to provide AI Agents with a unique identity enabling Agents to overtake humans the primary users of software.

✅ Unique identities for every agent
✅ Granular, programmable authorization
✅ Built-in audit for visibility and trust
✅ Powered by a domain-specific language designed for scale

Agents are already writing code, managing tasks, pulling data, and making decisions. But without identity, they’re invisible — and dangerous.

   

🎥 Claude + Canva MCP Demo

Matt recorded a quick demo this week showing Claude securely connecting to Canva via MCP.

It’s a simple walkthrough — but it highlights a huge shift:
AI agents can now take real actions in real apps, not just chat.
