Open Connector: The Open-Source Auth Gateway That Connects AI Agents to 1000+ SaaS Apps
Learn how Open Connector unifies OAuth 2.0 and OIDC across 1000+ SaaS providers for AI agents through SDK, CLI, MCP, HTTP, and OpenAPI.
Every AI agent that does real work — sending email, updating a spreadsheet, posting to Slack — needs to authenticate with SaaS services. The painful part is that every provider has its own OAuth quirks, scopes, and refresh-token handling. Open Connector removes that pain with one universal gateway.

Open Connector is an open-source authentication gateway built on the universal OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) standards. It sits between your AI agent and 1000+ SaaS providers, exposing a single, consistent auth interface. Instead of maintaining dozens of provider-specific integrations, you write one integration against Open Connector.
Five Ways to Connect
The gateway is accessible through five interfaces, so it fits any agent stack:
| Interface | Use case |
|---|---|
| SDK | TypeScript clients for direct embedding |
| CLI | Scripts and terminal workflows |
| MCP server | Drop-in tools for Claude, and other MCP clients |
| HTTP API | Language-agnostic REST access |
| OpenAPI | Auto-generated clients and docs |
Key Features
- Runtime tokens: issue short-lived, scoped credentials per task — no more long-lived API keys.
- Connection management: users authorize once; the gateway refreshes tokens automatically.
- Multi-provider: Gmail, Notion, Slack, GitHub, and 1000+ more out of the box.
- Full observability: see every auth flow and connection in the web console.
