Both APIs have public OpenAPI files. No rate limit figures or SLA are published, the managed gateway endpoint is requested through an Aembit representative, and no DPA or sub-processor list was found.\n\n**Stytch Connected Apps.** OAuth 2.1 authorisation server with DCR, CIMD and PKCE out of the box. No outbound token vault, so it can't hold your users' third-party tokens.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Aembit\n\n1. Read the API Base URL and token from the tenant's Profile page. Tokens last 1 hour by default, so plan to refresh\n2. Send `X-Aembit-ResourceSet` on Cloud API, Edge API and MCP calls outside the default Resource Set, or the request runs against the default set\n3. Cache the Edge API access token from `/edge/v1/auth` until near expiry before calling `/edge/v1/credentials`. Both endpoints can answer 429\n4. Point MCP clients at `https://\u003cgateway-host\u003e/mcp`. The `/me` path is deprecated\n5. Expect tool names prefixed with the Server Workload name behind the MCP Identity Gateway, and keep `perPage` at 100 or less on the Aembit MCP Server\n\n### Stytch Connected Apps\n\n1. Fetch `{project-domain}/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` first and use the endpoints it returns, not hard-coded paths\n2. Register with `token_endpoint_auth_method` none and PKCE S256 when the agent can't keep a secret\n3. Expect a 401 with protected resource metadata from the MCP server, then register and authorise\n4. Ask only for scopes the user's roles can grant, or the consent page will refuse them\n5. Back off exponentially on a 429, since no Retry-After header is documented\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Aembit or Stytch Connected Apps?\n\nAembit scores 70.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Stytch Connected Apps's 60.8 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Stytch Connected Apps leads on reliability and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Aembit and Stytch Connected Apps need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Aembit and Stytch Connected Apps without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Aembit.
