By exposing a single, machine-readable Markdown file at your service root, AI agents can dynamically discover your OAuth Protected Resource Metadata, parse required scopes, and authenticate seamlessly.\n\nWith native support in WorkOS AuthKit, you can now implement this protocol out of the box, giving AI tools a standardized, secure way to log into your application.\n\nRead the [auth.md docs](https://workos.com/auth-md?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q22026).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sponsor-workos-launches-auth-md-an-open-protocol-for-agent-registration", "canonical_source": "https://youtu.be/Dqp_b8GHLXU?t=1074", "published_at": "2026-06-09 04:23:05+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-11 17:37:32.145593+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-tools", "ai-products", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["WorkOS", "auth.md", "AuthKit", "OAuth"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sponsor-workos-launches-auth-md-an-open-protocol-for-agent-registration", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sponsor-workos-launches-auth-md-an-open-protocol-for-agent-registration.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sponsor-workos-launches-auth-md-an-open-protocol-for-agent-registration.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sponsor-workos-launches-auth-md-an-open-protocol-for-agent-registration.jsonld"}}
