Web-standard for "Sign in with X" — no password sharing, no API-key copying

Category: Concepts Also known as: 4 Related terms: 1

Definition

A standard authorisation protocol (we use OAuth 2.1). Instead of giving an app your password, you click "Authorise" once and the app gets a scoped, revocable token. Used by Sign-in-with-Google, GitHub apps, and our MCP server (Click-to-Install).

Context anchor

Same standard Google/GitHub use; tokens revocable any time from the dashboard

Example

OAuth 2.1 lets Claude connect to our MCP server without you ever copying an API key
