MCP uses OAuth scopes for authorization, but they’re often coarse. You can add finer scopes or step-up auth, but there’s still no built-in way to dynamically enforce policy at the tool-operation level. That’s where @pomerium.io comes in. 👀 #mcp #agenticai

Wow! 10 forks already on my dev.to MCP server. That's a pretty good signal. Stars are cool, but not a good metric of engagement as we used to say on the @opensauced.pizza. #opensource #mcp #agenticai
