Latchkey: Imbue AI Open-Sources Credential Layer for Local AI Agents Without OAuth Intermediaries
Imbue AI released Latchkey, an open-source CLI tool that lets AI agents use user-provided credentials to interact with HTTP APIs via standard curl syntax — no custom integrations or embedded credentials required. Unlike OAuth or MCP-style flows, Latchkey makes requests directly on the user's behalf without an intermediary, trading formal delegation for maximum flexibility. This addresses a real friction point for Claude Code and similar agents that need to authenticate with external services during autonomous workflows.
