- The flows
- [ ] The required plugins to use the Token Vault:
- [ ] AI MCP OAuth2 plugin (handles the MCP clinet <--> AI Gateway connections)
- [ ] MCP AI Proxy plugin (handles the MCP protocol) - Corporate IdP support table:
- IdP supports ID-JAG + MCP doesn't: KI: auth servers as trusted authorization server x ID-JAG
- IdP doesn't support ID-JAG + MCP does: KI auth server as identity issuer (issuer url becomes the ID-JAG
iss) - IdP + MCP both support ID-JAG: use id-jag-relay plugin and bypass Token Vault entirely
