Stytch Connected Apps: auth for AI Agents & MCP that fits within your existing identity stack

Stytch has introduced Connected Apps, a feature that integrates seamlessly into existing authentication infrastructures to facilitate AI agent interactions, cross-app logins, and secure data sharing without the need to overhaul current identity stacks. This new offering simplifies the OAuth process by providing a user-friendly interface and comprehensive lifecycle management for user consent, along with organizational policy controls and human-in-the-loop approvals to ensure secure and auditable agent interactions. Connected Apps is available for free for the first 10,000 active users and AI agents, making it accessible for organizations previously constrained by legacy CIAM systems or in-house authentication solutions. The tool supports both JWTs and short-lived tokens, enhancing flexibility and integration with various identity systems. It also offers a headless SDK for full customization, allowing companies to maintain their brand identity while integrating Stytch's solution. Connected Apps is particularly beneficial for AI and Model Context Protocol integrations, providing a streamlined pathway for teams to develop and deploy secure, auditable AI agent access to user data.
