Anthropic ships Enterprise Managed Auth so connectors stop per-employee OAuth
Claude's Enterprise Managed Auth lets IT centrally authorize connectors through the enterprise identity provider, so employees get pre-configured connectors without individual OAuth consent flows. The docs specify authorization-server requirements and access-token lifetimes; the matching spec also lands as an MCP extension.

Why it is worth understanding
Per-employee OAuth is one of the worst friction points for rolling AI tools out inside companies; this changes the landing path for connector tools, and pushing the pattern into an MCP extension means others may follow.
Conditions and limitations
Official docs describe the platform promise and configuration surface — not proof from large deployments; claude.com is restricted in mainland China, so the MCP spec and discovery links are attached as reachable reading paths.
