OAuth Apps for SaaS
Yes, you now have an explicit OAuth Apps guide set. If your SaaS needs third-party integrations, agent tool auth, or protected MCP resources, OAuth apps should be treated as first-class product infrastructure. This section covers the full lifecycle:- Create OAuth apps and clients.
- Configure scopes and consent behavior.
- Handle consent screens and approvals.
- Verify access tokens in your backend.
- Rotate secrets and manage active grants.
Recommended rollout model
- Start with Console to define app, clients, and scopes.
- Automate app/client lifecycle through SDK OAuth operations.
- Use backend verification in your resource server (
verifyOauthAccessTokenRequestin Node,verify_oauth_access_token_requestin Rust). - Add operational controls for secret rotation and grant revocation.
