The October 2026 release of Informatica MCP servers and AI Agent Engineering includes the following new features and enhancements.
New MCP servers
The following shared MCP servers are added in October 2026:
Catalog Asset History
Lets you investigate how enterprise data assets change over time in Data Governance and Catalog.
Data Access Management
Lets AI agents create, review, and publish data access policies, which filter data, mask data, and control who can access data while following your organization's data protection rules.
IDMC Asset Documentation
Gives AI agents read-only access to asset metadata, so that they can generate technical documentation.
The Monitor page in AI Agent Engineering allows you to track the health, performance, and usage of MCP servers that are running or have run in your organization.
Use the MCP registry to discover Informatica shared MCP servers without logging in to IDMC and opening AI Agent Engineering.
For more information about the MCP server registry, see MCP server registry.
OAuth client scopes
When you create an OAuth client that uses the Authorization Code flow, you configure the OAuth client scopes. OAuth client scopes define the high-level permissions that an OAuth client is allowed to exercise on an AI agent’s or user’s behalf when it interacts with an IDMC MCP server. For example, a client that has only the Read (mcp:tools:read) scope can't call tools that modify data or objects and can't call tools that execute jobs or processes.
Authorization Code (OAuth 2.1) clients created before the October 2026 release inherit the following OAuth client scopes:
•Read (mcp:tools:read). Allows the client to call tools that return data and to list tool names and input schemas.
•Write (mcp:tools:write). Allows the client to call tools that create, update, or delete data.
•Execute (mcp:tools:execute). Allows the client to call tools that start or control jobs and processes.
Shared MCP servers can now contain resources that provide read-only, contextual information to the AI like text or markdown files, zip files, or API responses. You can view information about an MCP server's resources on the Resources tab of the MCP server details page.
The MCP Servers page and the MCP server details page for a shared MCP server now list the number of tools with in the preview, active, and deprecated states. When you view details for a tool, the tool's lifecycle state is displayed.
The Configuration tab on the MCP server details page for each shared MCP server displays connection information for each authorization flow: generic, Client Credentials, and Authorization Code.
