Built for more than login

Secure AI tools, your homelab, and custom applications with one simple identity provider.

AI agents and MCP servers

Use Pocket ID as the OAuth provider for AI applications and remote MCP servers. Users approve access with their passkey, while scoped tokens limit which tools and data each client can reach.
