Today, we're announcing the industry's first Universal NHI MCP Server—responding to overwhelming customer demand for AI-powered access to our comprehensive security platform. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Clutch delivers unprecedented AI-powered experiences that enable intelligent querying, autonomous remediation, and proactive Zero Trust protection through natural language across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments simultaneously.

Unlike basic NHI management tools, our Universal MCP Server harnesses Clutch's proprietary Identity Lineage™ technology to provide complete contextual intelligence across your entire enterprise ecosystem. This isn't just another AI interface—it's the first solution that understands the full scope of enterprise identity landscapes and can act autonomously to protect them.

The Universal Difference: Why Customer Demand Led Us Here

Our customers consistently asked for one thing: "Can we interact with Clutch's powerful Identity Lineage™ insights through AI assistants?" They wanted to leverage our comprehensive cross-environment visibility and Zero Trust capabilities through natural language, without switching between dashboards or learning specialized queries.

The demand was so overwhelming that we prioritized delivering this capability to transform how enterprise security teams engage with their universal NHI ecosystem. The result is the industry's first Universal NHI Security MCP Server—establishing a new paradigm for how enterprise security and AI collaborate to protect non-human identities at scale.

Three Transformative Capabilities That Outpace Traditional NHI Management

1. Universal Visibility Through Identity Lineage™

While other solutions provide basic inventory lists, the Clutch Universal MCP Server empowers users to ask complex, natural-language questions that span their entire NHI ecosystem across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments simultaneously. It automatically compiles and analyzes Identity Lineage™ data—including origin, associated people, storage location, consumers, and accessed resources—to deliver a comprehensive and prioritized view of machine identity risks across all organizational terrains.

What makes this universal: Unlike single-cloud or single-environment solutions, our MCP server can answer queries like "Show me AWS access keys that consume secrets from Azure Key Vault while accessing GCP resources"—providing the complete cross-environment context that modern enterprises actually need.

2. Autonomous, Context-Aware Zero Trust Protection

Clutch Universal MCP delivers intelligent Zero Trust protection that goes beyond traditional vault-based solutions or basic recommendations. It provides real-time validation of NHI usage, ephemeral identity recommendations, and automated security controls tailored to your specific environments. The system helps security teams understand not just what to protect, but how to implement continuous validation and dynamic security measures that render compromised credentials useless to attackers.

Beyond basic recommendations: While other tools might suggest rotating a credential, our MCP server generates complete remediation workflows with environment-specific scripts, impact analysis, and automated Zero Trust policy implementations.

3. Enterprise Agentic Ecosystem Integration

The Clutch Universal MCP Server seamlessly integrates into broader enterprise agentic ecosystems. By adhering to the open MCP standard, it enables enterprises to reason about comprehensive NHI security posture, retrieve Identity Lineage™ insights, generate Zero Trust policies, and initiate protective actions without requiring human intervention.

This unlocks powerful workflows where agents can autonomously: identify risks across all environments, prioritize remediation based on complete context, generate automated responses with pre-configured playbooks, coordinate cross-team notifications, and follow up on evolving security postures—transforming reactive security management into proactive, intelligent guardianship that operates continuously across the entire enterprise landscape.

Real-World Impact: Use Cases That Showcase Universal Power

Cross-Cloud Identity Lineage Analysis - Complete Enterprise Context

Query: "Identify AWS access keys consuming secrets from Azure Key Vault while accessing GCP resources, and show me their complete Identity Lineage."

The Clutch Universal MCP Server analyzes the complete ecosystem to understand complex cross-environment dependencies that remain hidden in traditional security tools. The response includes detailed Identity Lineage™ maps showing origin, associations, consumers, and access patterns across the entire enterprise landscape—something no single-cloud solution can provide.

Business Impact: Security teams gain unprecedented visibility into their universal NHI ecosystem, enabling informed decisions about Zero Trust policy implementation across all environments.

Ephemeral Identity Optimization - Maximum Security with Operational Efficiency

Query: "Which long-lived credentials across all environments should be converted to ephemeral identities for optimal security impact?"

The server analyzes usage patterns, access frequency, and criticality across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments to determine the best candidates for ephemeral transformation. The response highlights specific long-lived credentials that would deliver the greatest security improvement when converted, backed by clear operational impact analysis and ready-to-implement configurations.

Business Impact: Organizations achieve maximum protection while maintaining operational efficiency by understanding which NHIs can benefit from the ephemeral approach across their entire infrastructure.

Enterprise-Wide Risk Impact Assessment - Complete Organizational Context

Query: "Assess the organization-wide impact of implementing new Zero Trust policies on current operations across all environments."

The server leverages Identity Lineage™ to analyze dependencies, usage patterns, and business criticality across all environments and applications. It generates a detailed impact assessment highlighting which systems would benefit from enhanced protection and which require careful transition planning, including business continuity considerations and implementation timelines.

Business Impact: Executive-level insight into enterprise-wide security posture transformation in seconds instead of weeks of manual assessment.

The Technology Behind Universal Coverage

Identity Lineage™: Complete Contextual Intelligence

Our proprietary Identity Lineage™ technology maps five critical dimensions across your entire enterprise:

  • Origin: NHI's authoritative source across cloud, SaaS, on-premises, and code environments
  • People: Attribution of ownership and association with the workforce
  • Storage: Mapping NHI locations within the enterprise ecosystem, including vaults, password managers, and at-rest/in-motion storage
  • Consumers: Mapping and contextualizing all actors using the NHI across workloads, CI jobs, SOAR, hyperautomation, and third-party vendors
  • Resources: Resources accessed by the NHI and actions performed across customer data, business information, and infrastructure

The Future of Autonomous Security Operations

The Clutch Universal MCP Server represents a significant advancement in our agentic AI vision, giving customers unprecedented natural language access to their comprehensive security posture across all environments. By connecting AI assistants to Clutch's Universal NHI Security Platform, we enable teams to interact with complex, multi-environment identity data through simple conversations while leveraging the power of Identity Lineage™ for complete contextual understanding.

This agentic AI approach transforms how enterprise security professionals engage with their universal NHI ecosystem, allowing AI to autonomously gather cross-environment intelligence, analyze comprehensive relationships through Identity Lineage™, implement Zero Trust protection mechanisms, and take protective actions across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises infrastructure.

As we continue to expand this technology's capabilities based on ongoing customer feedback, we'll introduce additional features to address even more complex enterprise security scenarios and workflows, further enhancing the power of natural language in universal security operations while maintaining our commitment to Zero Trust principles and comprehensive identity protection.
