Digital Identity Develops Proprietary MCP Gateway 'DI-MCP' to Promote Secure AI Agent Utilization

Digital Identity Inc., a subsidiary of Orchestra Holdings Inc., has developed and launched internal operations for 'DI-MCP,' a proprietary MCP gateway designed to enable the secure business use of AI agents as an extension of its 'Forté.AI' platform.

### About the MCP Gateway 'DI-MCP'
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard protocol for AI agents to securely communicate with and operate external tools and data sources. The newly developed 'DI-MCP' acts as an intermediary system (gateway) for these MCP communications.
When an AI agent requests an operation on a major business tool or external service, this system instantly checks the user's authorization and securely controls whether to permit or deny execution. Built into 'Forté.AI,' it features a scalable design intended for company-wide use by hundreds of employees.

### Background and Purpose
While AI is evolving into autonomous agents that can increase productivity, the digital marketing field faced challenges such as risks of unintended changes to production environments, security risks from distributing API keys, and a lack of user awareness. DI-MCP was developed to overcome these barriers and create a secure, highly convenient environment.

### Key Features and Functions
1. **Flexible and Strict Permission Management:** It enables granular settings at the person-in-charge or client level. This allows for secure operations, such as 'only the person assigned to Project A can output reports for Project A.'
2. **Secure Management of API Keys and Tokens:** By centralizing and mediating authentication info through the system, there is no need to distribute API keys directly to employees, reducing risks of leaks or unauthorized use.
3. **Proactive Suggestions by Agents:** AI agents can now understand which external tools and functions are available within the user's permissions. This allows the AI to move beyond waiting for instructions and instead suggest potential automation opportunities to the user.

### Future Outlook
Digital Identity plans to expand the range of compatible business tools and services. The company aims to establish an environment where all employees, regardless of technical background, can safely utilize AI agents. Furthermore, the practical knowledge gained will be used to support other companies considering full-scale AI agent adoption.
