Authsome – open-source local auth proxy for AI agents
Authsome is an open-source local authentication proxy designed to manage secure, fresh API credentials for AI agents. It stores credentials encrypted on the user's machine and provides them to agents on demand without exposing secrets in environment variables. Agents can run headlessly in CI, cron, or SSH environments, with automatic token refresh and no reliance on third-party cloud services. Users authenticate once via OAuth2 or API key, then retrieve or inject credentials using simple CLI commands.

Log in once via OAuth2/API Key. Authsome keeps the credentials fresh for every AI agent. Why Agents Are Different Agents need API access that survives outside an interactive app: agents run without interactive sessions tokens expire, rotate, and need refresh tool access must work in scripts, cron, CI, SSH, background workers, and parallel pipelines Hardcoded env tokens leak or go stale. DIY auth means rebuilding flow logic, token storage, refresh handling, expiry checks, and per-provider config for every project.
