AI Agent Authentication.
For Every Tool.

Q: Can multiple users share the same OAuth connection?

By default, each connect session creates one account per origin_owner_id. Users cannot share connections. Credentials are isolated per user. To allow a single user to connect multiple accounts from the same provider, enable the multiple parameter in the connect session request.

One call. Your agent's in.

One POST /connect_sessions call. StackOne handles the OAuth flow, token exchange, and credential storage for 200+ connectors.

MCP, A2A, SDK — One Auth.

One auth. Works across every agent protocol. Same account ID, same credentials, zero extra configuration per protocol.

Production-Ready Auth.

Session tokens with configurable expiry, scoped to specific accounts and actions. If one leaks, exposure is limited.

How AI Agent Authentication
for Tools Works.

From first API call to agent access in under a minute.

Create a Connect Session

Set up authentication through the dashboard or in code. StackOne returns:

Session token
Auth link
Account record
Client config

StackOne Connect Hub — select account, choose client, copy config

import { StackOne } from "@stackone/stackone-client-ts";

const stackOne = new StackOne({
  security: { username: "your-api-key", password: "" },
});

const session = await stackOne.connectSessions
  .createConnectSession({
    originOwnerId: "user-123",
    originOwnerName: "Acme Corp",
    categories: ["hris"],
  });

Agent Auth You Won't Build.
Zero Maintenance.

Stop building OAuth flows, token refresh logic, and credential storage. Ship agents instead.

API Keys

Long-lived credentials using HTTP Basic Auth. Managed from the dashboard, shown once, store securely. Built for server-to-server integrations.

Scoped Permissions

Four scopes: Full Access Read Only Accounts Actions. Least-privilege by default. Fine-grained scopes available for tighter control.

Per-User Credential Isolation

Every connection is scoped to a user via origin_owner_id. Credentials are isolated, encrypted at rest. Multi-tenant by default.

Automatic Token Refresh

When a request hits a 401, StackOne refreshes the token, updates stored credentials, and retries the original action. Your agent never sees the failure.

Every Auth Method

OAuth 2.0 API Keys Basic Auth Bearer configured per connector automatically. You don't pick the method. StackOne handles it.

StackOne Connect Hub

Embeddable auth UI for your end users. One POST /connect_sessions returns an auth link. Your user picks a provider, logs in, and StackOne creates the account. No OAuth callbacks to build.

SOC 2 Type II

Encrypted at rest & in transit

Credentials never reach the LLM

AI Agent Authentication FAQ

How does OAuth token refresh work for AI agents?

OAuth token refresh for AI agents is handled automatically. When a request returns a 401, the auth layer refreshes the token, updates stored credentials, and retries the original action. The agent never handles refresh logic directly.

What is multi-tenant authentication?

Multi-tenant authentication isolates credentials per user so each customer's OAuth tokens and connections are completely separate. Each connection is scoped to an origin_owner_id. No shared service accounts, no cross-tenant data access. Essential for production agent deployments serving multiple customers.

What authentication methods do AI agents need?

AI agents typically need OAuth 2.0 for user-authorized access, API keys for server-to-server calls, and Basic Auth or Bearer tokens depending on the provider. The required method varies by provider. Ideally, the auth layer selects the correct method per connector automatically rather than requiring per-provider configuration.

When should I use session tokens instead of API keys?

Session tokens are best for agent workflows where time-bounded access reduces risk. They expire after a configurable period (default 30 minutes) and are scoped to one account. API keys are better for persistent backend integrations. Use session tokens when your agent runs on behalf of end users.

What happens when a provider revokes OAuth access?

When a provider revokes OAuth access, subsequent API calls return a 412 status (account suspended or expired). The auth layer stops retrying. You'll need to prompt the user to re-authenticate through a new connect session. Auth links expire after 30 days.

How does authentication work across MCP and REST?

Authentication across MCP and REST uses the same connected account. For REST, pass x-account-id as a header. For MCP, use ?x-account-id= as a query parameter. No additional credential configuration per protocol.

Can multiple users share the same OAuth connection?

By default, each connect session creates one account per origin_owner_id. Users cannot share connections. Credentials are isolated per user. To allow a single user to connect multiple accounts from the same provider, enable the multiple parameter in the connect session request.
