Workato launches secure enterprise MCP platform to accelerate AI agent integration

Workato introduces its fastest and most secure Enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform, enabling organisations to seamlessly and safely integrate AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude, advancing the shift to agentic enterprises.

Workato, a company specialising in agentic orchestration, has announced the launch of its Enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform, which it describes as the fastest and most secure solution available for integrating AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor with enterprise systems. The platform aims to enhance organisational efficiency by enabling AI agents to operate safely and effectively with relevant data, helping businesses accelerate their transition to so-called “agentic enterprises.” According to the company, current open-source MCP servers fall short for enterprise needs, lacking robust security, identity management, access control, and governance features.

Unlike these open-source options, Workato claims its Enterprise MCP is a fully managed, serverless platform that integrates securely with a wide range of applications and agent services, including ChatGPT, Amazon Q, Google Gemini, and others, without requiring organisations to manage complex infrastructure or untrusted code. It is designed to offer IT departments complete control and visibility over AI operations while delivering reliable real-world business outcomes. Workato has partnered with notable firms such as Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Atlassian, and Box to bolster the platform’s capabilities and trustworthiness in enterprise environments.

The platform is positioned to streamline workflows across various business functions. Workato cites use cases where MCP enables recruiters to automate candidate onboarding processes and marketing teams to generate leads by analysing customer interactions. The company also highlights its extensive repository of pre-built recipes and connectors, which can be converted into AI-ready tools without extensive redevelopment, promising governance, identity management, and security baked into the environment.

Industry analysts have noted the growing importance of MCP in AI integration, viewing trusted and secure AI agents as critical rather than optional in corporate contexts. Drawing on its expertise in enterprise integration, Workato’s platform aims to address challenges around secure, scalable, and effective deployment of AI agents that were previously unmet by other MCP solutions.

This latest development aligns with Workato’s broader strategy to embed AI deeply into enterprise workflows, complementing its previous launches such as Workato Agentic, a low-code platform to build and manage AI agents, and Virtual Private Workato, a private cloud environment for regulated industries. The company recently marked significant growth, attributed in part to the rising adoption of AI agents and its orchestration platform, underscoring its expanding footprint in the AI-driven automation landscape.

While the company touts its platform’s ability to accelerate AI adoption securely at scale, enterprises evaluating MCP solutions may weigh the trade-offs between fully managed services and self-hosted options, considering factors such as customisation, integration complexity, and cost. Industry partnerships announced by Workato lend credibility to its approach, but the competitive market for AI orchestration platforms continues to evolve rapidly as companies seek seamless AI integration that meets stringent enterprise security and governance standards.
