Sectigo announces first globally available MCP Server to operationalize agentic AI for Certificate Lifecycle Management
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – June 2, 2026 – Sectigo, a global leader in automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and digital certificates, today announced the general availability of the industry’s first globally available, production-ready, Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for CLM. The MCP Server for Sectigo Certificate Manager (SCM) enables enterprises to manage certificate operations within SCM using natural language through their preferred AI agents, with no infrastructure to deploy, while maintaining the rigorous governance required by modern security teams.
As certificate volumes surge and their lifecycles continue to shorten, organizations face the dual challenge of accelerating routine tasks without compromising policy enforcement. While agentic AI offers a path forward, adoption has been slowed by proprietary assistants and unclear governance boundaries. The MCP Server for SCM solves this by acting as a secure execution layer between customer-controlled AI agents and SCM, with all actions performed within existing policies and approval workflows defined in SCM. This enables real certificate operations without adopting an additional AI assistant or requiring new infrastructure.
"As organizations bring AI agents into their operations, they don’t want to trade control for convenience,” said Henry Lam, Field CTO at Sectigo. “With our MCP Server, we’re giving customers a way to bring AI into certificate operations on their terms. It acts as a secure, Sectigo-hosted connection between their AI agents and our CLM platform, without introducing new systems or losing the governance they rely on. It’s a practical step toward scaling digital trust in a way that stays simple and secure.”
Enterprise-Ready Agentic Certificate Workflows
Sectigo’s MCP Server is designed to move AI from region-locked and read-only curiosity, to fully operational use at enterprise scale. Key features include:
- Natural language execution: Administrators can perform real SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle actions, such as issuance, revocation, replacement, renewal, approval, search and reporting, using simple conversational commands via their AI agent.
- The power of choice: Customers can connect their preferred AI agents including Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and other MCP-compatible agents, to Sectigo’s hosted MCP Server.
- SCM as the system of record: While the execution path is new, the rules remain the same. SCM continues to enforce all permissions, approvals, and audit logs, ensuring that agentic workflows never bypass corporate policy.
- Comprehensive task execution: Unlike existing MCP servers for CLM that are read-only or region-locked, the MCP Server for SCM supports critical certificate actions, including issuance, revocation, and renewal, across globally distributed enterprise environments.
"We’re proud to be first to market with a production-ready, globally available MCP server, while many alternatives remain limited or read-only,” adds Lam.
Availability
Available now, MCP Server for SCM enables customers to validate trust boundaries and governance alignment before expanding scope. By integrating MCP standards directly into its CLM ecosystem, Sectigo reinforces its future-ready roadmap designed to meet customers at any stage of their modernization journey.
This announcement builds on Sectigo’s recent brand launch, which redefines automation in CLM to deliver Simplicity at Scale. As enterprise needs continue to evolve, Sectigo is focused on helping organizations reduce complexity and eliminate hidden risks while providing the foundational digital trust required to support what comes next.
