Benefits with Ory + Model Context Protocol Memory MCP Server
Use Cases
— 01 use caseAgent IAM
Let the assistant record facts at Write, keep untrusted summarizers at Read or Block, and save Admin for whoever prunes old memories.
Core Functionality
— 04 capabilitiesRead, write, admin, or no access
Ory Agent Security classifies every tool on the Memory MCP reference server as read, write, or admin, so you can give each user, team, or agent type only the level it needs: read for agents that recall stored context, write for the trusted assistant that records facts, admin for maintenance agents, and no access for agents that summarize untrusted content.
Enforced before execution
Ory Agent Security checks each tool call against the user, the agent acting for them, and any sub-agent inside the agent harness, so a denied memory write stops before it reaches the knowledge graph, with nothing to roll back and no gateway to deploy.
Observe, then enforce
Observe mode shows which agents write to shared memory and for whom without blocking anything, so you can apply Ory's pre-built policy for the Memory MCP reference server and enforce it on your own schedule.
Complete audit trail
Every allow and deny decision on the Memory MCP reference server streams to your SIEM through OpenTelemetry with the user, agent, and action attached, so you can show which agent stored a fact that every other agent now relies on.
