Intent

I need it when

Enable AI agents and MCP servers to securely access my application with granular permissions

Connected Apps provides OAuth 2.1-compliant OIDC flows and MCP authorization, allowing you to turn your app into an identity provider. AI agents can authenticate and receive scoped permissions without direct API key access, with built-in consent management and human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Secure cross-device and cross-domain single sign-on for multi-branded or IoT environments

Connected Apps enables secure session sharing across devices and domains through OAuth/OIDC token-based authentication. Users maintain control with token-based permissions, and your organization gets full audit visibility and revocation capabilities.

Implement app marketplaces or plugin ecosystems with one-click install flows

Connected Apps supports 'Sign in with your-app' flows and one-click integrations for external ecosystems. Users can authorize third-party apps with clear permission scopes, and admins can enforce allowlists to restrict which apps members can connect to.

Reduce engineering effort to support OIDC compliance and identity provider requirements

Connected Apps abstracts complex OIDC and OAuth 2.1 protocol details, including Dynamic Client Registration and compliance requirements. You can configure integrations with a few clicks, use prebuilt or headless SDKs, and integrate with existing Stytch auth infrastructure without a rip-and-replace.

Build cross-application integrations and secure data sharing between partner apps

Connected Apps enables partner applications to authenticate users and fetch scoped data through OAuth/OIDC without building custom auth flows. You maintain org-level visibility, granular RBAC permissions, and one-click access revocation via dashboard or API.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • Your application does not need to act as an identity provider or enable third-party integrations
  • You require a standalone identity provider solution without existing authentication infrastructure
  • Your use case does not involve AI agents, MCP servers, or cross-application integrations
  • You need SMS or email authentication as your primary authentication method rather than OAuth/OIDC flows
  • Your organization has fewer than 100 monthly active users and cannot justify the implementation overhead
