Auth.md: An Open Protocol for AI Agent Registration and Authentication
Summary
Auth.md is an open protocol that standardizes how AI agents can register users with apps without requiring traditional sign-up forms. It enables agents to discover supported authentication flows, request scopes, and receive secure user-scoped credentials. The protocol is designed for two main use cases: making apps "agent-ready" (so agents can register users on behalf of customers) and becoming an identity provider (for platforms whose agents act on behalf of users). It also offers one-click enablement via AuthKit.
