Case Study: Mux streamlines MCP server authentication with WorkOS

MUX integrates WorkOS in days to launch MCP auth

Mux, a video API for developers, needed to quickly launch an MCP server to connect its services with AI agents but lacked the necessary OAuth support in its existing authentication platform. The challenge was to add this complex functionality without slowing down development, as building it from scratch would have required significant time and introduced potential security vulnerabilities.

By partnering with WorkOS and using its Connect product as an OAuth bridge, Mux was able to offload all OAuth logic, including dynamic client registration and consent flows. This solution allowed Mux to integrate WorkOS in a matter of days and focus on building its core MCP server functionality, ultimately enabling a quick and secure launch without the need to build a custom authentication system.
