OAuth is the right choice when your users own their Monid account and you want them to authorize your product to act on their behalf.

​
Use OAuth When

  • Users already have (or want) their own Monid account and wallet.
  • You don’t want to handle billing, top‑ups, or account settings inside your product.
  • You want each user to see their own usage and history at Monid dashboard.
  • Standard OAuth 2.0 / OIDC fits your existing auth stack.

​
Skip OAuth When

  • You want to charge users through your own billing system.
  • You need to filter which Monid endpoints users can reach.
  • Users shouldn’t leave your product to authorize.

​
Examples

An agent-hosting platform lets users bring their own tools. Users click Connect Monid, authorize once, and every agent they build on the platform can call discover / inspect / run against their own workspace and wallet.
A Zapier-style product adds Monid as a connector. During setup, users authorize with OAuth. Each workflow step that calls Monid uses that user’s access token — Monid charges the user, not the platform.
