New offering provides the fastest way to turn applications and processes into secure, governed MCP servers, giving AI agents real enterprise skills

Workato®, the leader in agentic orchestration, today introduced Workato Enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP), the industry’s fastest, most secure, and complete solution for enabling organizations to put AI to work with relevant data and carry out real work in applications. Workato Enterprise MCP connects enterprise systems with powerful agent capabilities, empowering AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to operate safely and efficiently, accelerating the path to becoming an agentic enterprise.

Enterprise organizations are excited by the transformative potential of MCP, but struggle to make it secure and effective. While there are thousands of open-source MCP servers to choose from, they lack enterprise-grade security, identity, access control, and governance. A top concern for leaders is ensuring that agents working on behalf of employees only receive access to the data granted to them. Just as importantly, AI chat tools and agents perform best when they can focus on completing tasks and delivering outcomes — not wrestling with hundreds of API calls that make them unreliable.

Unlike open-source or DIY options, Workato delivers fully managed, composable MCP servers that connect instantly with ChatGPT, Claude.AI, Amazon Q, Cursor, Google Gemini, and any other agent. Workato Enterprise MCP manages identity and resource access, removing untrusted open-source code and self-hosting complexity. It integrates seamlessly with existing applications and processes, adds governance and observability, and enforces enterprise-grade security. IT teams gain complete control and visibility, and AI agents deliver real business outcomes — safely, reliably, and at scale.

As part of the launch, Workato has teamed up with Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Atlassian, and Box to ensure customers realize the full value of MCP with unprecedented trust and speed.

“We’re excited to see the Model Context Protocol (MCP) transforming Workato’s approach to enterprise workflow automation. With Workato’s Enterprise MCP offering, Claude brings more intelligent, context-aware automation to the enterprise,” said Theo Chu, Product Manager at Anthropic.

“Atlassian Rovo MCP Server and Workato's Enterprise MCP together allow customers to unlock autonomous actions across Jira and Confluence with the security, governance, and skills required for AI at scale,” said Alan Braun, Vice President of Product Ecosystem at Atlassian.

“By pairing Box’s MCP Server with Workato Enterprise MCP, agents can extend their capabilities to perform search, multi-file analysis, and data extraction across Box content, delivering richer context and orchestrating workflows for more intelligent agentic experiences,” said Ben Kus, Chief Technology Officer at Box. “In collaboration with Workato Enterprise MCP, customers receive secure access to their enterprise content and increased confidence in their AI ecosystem.”

With Workato Enterprise MCP, recruiters can finalize a candidate's offer and initiate the onboarding process, which includes employment eligibility verification, payroll enrollment, identity provisioning in SSO, and assigning an onboarding buddy. Claude can assemble all the relevant information, drive the core process through Workato, and handle exceptions on behalf of the recruiter. Marketing teams can utilize agents to drive pipeline and new opportunities with ChatGPT, asking questions about closed-won opportunities, investigating customer calls in Gong, and then automatically drafting best practices for Outreach email sequences to generate new leads.

“MCP is quickly becoming the standard for how AI works with corporate applications. With Workato Enterprise MCP, organizations can instantly unlock business capabilities with AI in a secure way from day one,” said Laurent Farci, Chief Information Officer at .monks. “Workato already orchestrates critical processes across our business — from sales opportunity management to employee onboarding and IT project management. With Enterprise MCP, we can now transform our business processes into AI-ready services at speed and scale, giving us the confidence to use AI to move faster than ever.”

With Workato Enterprise MCP, businesses have the power to design exactly the MCP servers they need and can expose existing Workato recipes as secure, AI-ready MCP tools. Customers can tap into thousands of prebuilt recipes and connectors, all configurable through an intuitive low-code interface. Identity and security are integrated with your Workato environment, utilizing scoped tokens, environment isolation, and approval workflows for sensitive operations. Every MCP server comes with robust API management features, including rate limiting, exactly-once delivery, and full governance, giving enterprises reliability and control from the very beginning.

"MCP is quickly becoming the de facto way for anyone building agents to integrate with third-party data and applications. By building on its foundation in enterprise integration, Workato's MCP platform delivers high-quality, secure, and well-governed MCP services,” said Dave Marcus, Principal Analyst at Analysis.tech. “This is valuable for anyone creating agents on any platform and critical in a world where trusted agents are not just a nice-to-have, but a requirement.”

Key benefits of Workato Enterprise MCP include:

• Instant MCP for Any Application: Choose from 100 pre-built, fully managed secure servers and turn any system or application — Atlassian Robo MCP Server, Box MCP Server, Reddit, Salesforce, Workday, Okta, Shopify, Zendesk, Stripe, NetSuite, GitHub, Amazon Web Services Bedrock, custom APIs, and more — into an MCP server instantly

• Avoid the Hidden Traps: Workato handles rate limits, multifactor authentication, audit trails, and errors, helping users avoid costly DIY missteps and accelerate time-to-value with the leading security and governance

“MCP has shown great promise, but hasn’t delivered when it comes to seeing value with core business processes. At Workato, we hear every day that while MCP is exciting, enterprises still face challenges making MCP work securely, effectively, and reliably at scale,” said Adam Seligman, Chief Technology Officer at Workato. “Workato Enterprise MCP changes that by bringing the full spectrum of business processes, from the front office to the back office and everything in between, to AI agents through MCP. With pre-built, enterprise-grade servers and skills, we’re giving global enterprises a first-of-its-kind solution that unlocks AI agents to safely execute real business processes at scale, delivering measurable business value.”

As part of Workato ONE, Enterprise MCP propels the vision of an “Agentic Enterprise,” where AI agents collaborate, act, and improve in production. This announcement builds on a series of moves by Workato to bring AI from the edge into the core of the enterprise — from deploying a fleet of production-grade Genies across every business function to an Action Board for managing them, and launching a developer sandbox to accelerate community adoption.
