How We Brought Enterprise-Managed Authorization to Rovo MCP with XAA and ID-JAG
Jun 30, 2026Richard Nelson
Summary
Introduced Enterprise-Managed Authorization for Rovo MCP server using Cross-App Access (XAA) and Identity Assertion JWT Authorization Grant (ID-JAG). This allows enterprise IdPs to centrally authorize MCP access for approved clients, enabling seamless user onboarding without individual OAuth consent screens. The implementation involved validating ID-JAGs, resolving users across trust domains, and integrating with Atlassian OAuth to mint scoped access tokens.
