It supports two paths: a management API using HTTP Basic auth to create OAuth clients, and RFC 7591 Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) at a public endpoint requiring no credentials. The DCR path lets agents register themselves at runtime without any human interaction — solving a critical gap where most vendors still require dashboard-based, human-driven onboarding flows. A working Node.js script demonstrates both paths. The author argues this is the model the entire industry should follow for the agentic web. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Too many experiments die during onboarding. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [WSO2 API Manager Already Speaks Programmatic Onboarding](https://daily.dev/posts/wso2-api-manager-already-speaks-programmatic-onboarding-bvvgqaduc) · API Evangelist · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [SoundCloud Shows What Programmatic API Onboarding Should Look Like](https://daily.dev/posts/soundcloud-shows-what-programmatic-api-onboarding-should-look-like-4olxm7fmz) · API Evangelist · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Auth0 Has the Right Endpoint and Still Makes You Ask Permission](https://daily.dev/posts/auth0-has-the-right-endpoint-and-still-makes-you-ask-permission-y9mqnlcsf) · API Evangelist · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AWS API Gateway and the Self-Serve Onboarding It Refuses to Offer](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-api-gateway-and-the-self-serve-onboarding-it-refuses-to-offer-h4vu0vskz) · API Evangelist · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [What Programmatic Onboarding Looks Like Inside MuleSoft Anypoint Platform](https://daily.dev/posts/what-programmatic-onboarding-looks-like-inside-mulesoft-anypoint-platform-arc6gkghk) · API Evangelist · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#authentication](https://daily.dev/tags/authentication), [#oauth](https://daily.dev/tags/oauth) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/stytch-already-built-the-self-serve-onboarding-the-agentic-web-needs-zwlwrnp2y) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Stytch Already Built the Self-Serve Onboarding the Agentic Web Needs","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/stytch-already-built-the-self-serve-onboarding-the-agentic-web-needs-zwlwrnp2y","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/stytch-already-built-the-self-serve-onboarding-the-agentic-web-needs-zwlwrnp2y"},"datePublished":"2026-08-05T00:44:02.150Z","dateModified":"2026-08-05T00:44:25.118Z","description":"Stytch's Connected Apps feature enables fully programmatic API onboarding for both humans and AI agents.
