AI Meets Digital ID: Credential Issuance and Verification using MCP [Live Demo]

AI agents are quickly moving from experimentation to real-world deployment, but one critical question remains: how do you establish trust when agents start acting on behalf of users?

In a recent webinar, Mike Parkhill (Head of Engineering at Dock Labs) and Agne Caunt (Product Owner at Dock Labs) explored this challenge and demonstrated how identity infrastructure can play a central role in solving it.

The session focused on Truvera’s MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, showing how agents can issue, verify, and eventually hold digital ID credentials, and how this enables more secure, auditable, and constrained agent behavior. Along the way, they walked through a live demo of credential issuance and verification, and shared their perspective on where agent identity, delegation, and agentic commerce are heading next.
