Feature depth4

Delegated auth, MCP OAuth, SSO in one stack

Security posture2

No public security page found

Pros

  • One stack covers delegated identity, scoped tool permissions, and audit for agents²
  • OAuth authorization for MCP servers — a gap legacy IAM hasn't filled²
  • Generally available since Sept 2025, not vaporware³
  • G2 user: standardized enterprise SSO across customers, replacing per-customer handling¹
  • Open-source reference implementation (authstack) published on GitHub

Cons

  • Seed-stage vendor: $5.5M raised; risky bet for critical auth infrastructure²
  • No public security page found — weak transparency for a security vendor
  • No public pricing; likely sales-led with opaque budget
  • GA only since Sept 2025; category standards still shifting
  • Only one detailed independent review found; thin user track record¹

Gotchas

  • highSeed-stage vendor ($5.5M); market consolidation could strand your auth stack.²
  • mediumNo published pricing; expect a sales conversation and opaque negotiation.
  • mediumNo public security page — request SOC 2 and pen-test reports directly.
  • mediumGA only since Sept 2025; expect API churn and migration pain early.³

Best for

  • B2B SaaS shipping AI agents
  • MCP server builders
  • Multi-tenant SaaS needing embedded SSO

Not for

  • Enterprises needing battle-tested IAM at scale (use Okta)
  • Solo devs who just need a login box
  • Buyers requiring transparent self-serve pricing
  • Risk-averse teams wanting a multi-year vendor track record

Security

No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.

What users say
