MCP-I Just Landed at DIF. Here's What It Means for Agent Identity.

Last week, Vouched donated MCP-I (Model Context Protocol - Identity) to the Decentralized Identity Foundation. It's now being developed as an open standard under DIF's Trusted AI Agents Working Group. This is a big deal. MCP-I adds cryptographic identity and delegation to Anthropic's Model Context Protocol - the protocol that's becoming the standard for how AI agents connect to tools and services. With MCP-I, an agent can prove who authorized it, what it's allowed to do, and present verifiable credentials to any service it interacts with. But there's a piece missing from the picture.
