For Agents
Programmatically create user, get user. Covers 29 operations with basic authentication.
Use for: I need to user, I want to user, Search for user, Find all user
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for identity and authentication only.
Stytch provides authentication infrastructure. The API supports magic links, OTPs, OAuth, TOTP, sessions, users, passwords, WebAuthn, and connected apps. The API exposes 29 endpoints secured with basic authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Stytch API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Stytch API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities

Search users
Send magic link email
Login or create by magic link
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Stytch API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Identity and Authentication Operations
Use the Stytch API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 29 endpoints covering core functionality including create user, get user, update user.
Call POST /v1/users to create user
Automated Connected Apps Management
Automate connected apps operations by combining multiple Stytch API endpoints. Agents can get user and then update user in a single workflow.
Call GET /v1/users/{user_id} to get user, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Stytch API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle basic tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create user', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Stytch API basic credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create user') and Jentic returns the matching Stytch API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Stytch API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs
Specific to using Stytch API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Stytch API use?
The Stytch API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I create user with the Stytch API?
Yes. Use the POST /v1/users endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Stytch API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I create user through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'create user'. Jentic returns the matching Stytch API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Stytch API have?
The Stytch API exposes 29 endpoints covering connected apps, magic links, oauth operations.
