External OAuth and configurable scopes for MCP servers (General availability)
GAVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026
Two new hierarchical parameters let you bind MCP servers to your organization’s existing identity provider (IdP) and control which OAuth scopes MCP clients discover. This enables MCP clients such as Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT to authenticate against your corporate IdP instead of Snowflake OAuth.
