Show HN: A self-hosted OAuth 2.0 server for authenticating AI agents and machine
mandarwagh Friday, February 27, 2026
MachineAuth is a self-hosted OAuth 2.0 server for authenticating AI agents and machines.
What is an AI agent in this context? A software bot (like OpenCLAW, Claude Code, etc.) that makes API calls to access protected resources. Instead of sharing long-lived API keys, your agents can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials and receive short-lived JWT tokens.
Why?
No more sharing API keys
Short-lived tokens (configurable)
Easy credential rotation
Industry-standard security
