Frequently asked questions
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI models and agents connect to external tools and data sources through a common interface, instead of a custom integration for every tool. DigitalOcean Networking is an MCP server that exposes a defined set of tools an AI agent can call. Barndoor sits at that connection point, applying access policies and audit logging to every tool call regardless of which AI client is making it.
Is Barndoor secure?
Yes. Barndoor is SOC 2 Type II compliant. Barndoor enforces fine-grained access control, requires approval before destructive actions, protects sensitive data with data loss prevention, and logs every action for audit.
How are DigitalOcean Networking schema changes handled?
Barndoor tracks tool and schema changes on DigitalOcean Networking. New or changed tools inherit deny-by-default access until an admin reviews and approves them, keeping runtime enforcement current without manual reconfiguration. Every schema change is captured in the audit trail alongside who approved it.
Do you integrate with my identity provider?
Barndoor authenticates admins and policy managers through your OIDC or SAML 2.0 identity provider. Signing into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT still happens directly with those providers. Barndoor's integration point is the DigitalOcean Networking connection where access policies apply to what an agent can do once it's connected.
