Workato

DEVOPS
Velocity5.0

Workato gives MCP proxies per-user OAuth and opens a UK data center with its agent stack.

agent-platformmcpidentitydata-residencyenterprise-integration
◆Current state
Workato runs an agent layer (Genies, Agent Studio, AIRO, hosted MCP servers) on top of its enterprise automation platform. Since September's tool-level MCP RBAC GA and SOAP/XML work, it added OAuth to proxy MCP servers so each end user reaches upstream servers under their own identity, made a UK data center GA with Agent Studio and Enterprise MCP at launch, and shortened API Platform OAuth2 credentials from 64 to 50 characters.
◆Where it's heading
The agent platform is being made deployable for regulated enterprises: per-user identity on MCP calls, per-tool access control and regional data residency for the full AI stack. The connector catalog keeps tilting toward agent infrastructure such as search, scraping and vector stores.
◆Prediction
Expect the AI stack to reach more regional data centers and per-user identity to extend from MCP proxies to other agent tooling; the entries do not show a timeline for either.

    Community Connectors: What’s new in October 2026

    October's community connectors add web search (Exa), speech (Deepgram) and document extraction (Mindee), plus Gumroad, Resend, Vercel, NocoDB and others. Like September's batch, it widens the data Genies and recipes can pull in rather than changing the platform itself.

    API Platform OAuth2 credentials shrink from 64 to 50 characters

    New and refreshed API Platform OAuth2 credentials drop from 64 to 50 characters using URL-safe base64, with existing tokens untouched. It is a small change, but integrations that validate token length must update before rotating.

    Workato On-Prem Agent 33.1: SAP IDoc fixes, Postgres BIT, audit logs

    Agent 33.1 narrows SAP IDoc configuration lookups by program ID, stops one failed IDoc listener from blocking other subscriptions, and adds PostgreSQL BIT support and agent audit-log events. It is steady hardening for on-prem connectivity, with a Spring 7.0.9 update included.

    Community Connectors: What’s new in September 2026

    September's community connectors give recipes and Genies a web-data pipeline (Firecrawl scraping, Tavily search and research, Jina reading, embedding and reranking), plus Retell AI outbound voice, Supabase and Qdrant. The catalog is being stocked for agents that need to read the web and store vectors, following August's voice-and-browser batch.

    MCP Proxy with OAuth Support

    Proxy MCP servers now support OAuth, so each end user authorizes once and calls upstream servers under their own account. It follows September's tool-level RBAC, moving MCP access from shared tokens toward per-user identity.

    UK Data Center – Generally Available

    The UK data center is GA with Agent Studio, Enterprise MCP, AIRO and IDP available at launch, and the Workato ONE AI stack also reaches Israel and Korea. It extends the agent platform to customers who need regional data residency.
