Microsoft is intensifying its efforts to enhance the security and trustworthiness of AI agents, announcing significant advancements at Build 2025. These moves are designed to empower businesses and individuals to create custom-made AI systems with improved safeguards. A key component of this initiative is the extension of Zero Trust principles to secure the agentic workforce, ensuring that AI agents operate within a secure and controlled environment.
Windows 11 is set to receive native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, complete with new MCP Registry and MCP Server functionalities. This enhancement aims to streamline the development process for agentic AI experiences, making it easier for developers to build Windows applications with robust AI capabilities. The MCP, an open standard, facilitates seamless interaction between AI models and data residing outside specific applications, enabling apps to share contextual information that AI tools and agents can utilize effectively. Microsoft is introducing the MCP Registry as a secure and trustworthy source for AI agents to discover accessible MCP servers on Windows devices.
In related news, GitHub and Microsoft are collaborating with Anthropic to advance the MCP standard. This partnership will see both companies adding first-party support across Azure and Windows, assisting developers in exposing app features as MCP servers. Further improvements will focus on bolstering security and establishing a registry to list trusted MCP servers. Microsoft Entra Agent ID, an extension of industry-leading identity management and access capabilities, will also be introduced to provide enhanced security for AI agents. These strategic steps underscore Microsoft's commitment to securing the agentic workforce and facilitating the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies.
