How agents can use IdentityConnectors
IdentityConnectors is an evidence-first discovery layer for identity, authentication, authorization, credential and workload-identity infrastructure.
1. Describe the task
Express delegated access, service-to-service identity, enterprise SSO, fine-grained authorization, MCP, workload identity or credential requirements in natural language.
2. Query the recommender
https://identityconnectors.com/api/recommend?q=... returns the deterministic shortlist. https://identityconnectors.com/api/ai-recommend?q=... adds an AI comparison constrained to those same verified candidates.
3. Inspect evidence semantics
Unknown protocol support stays unknown. The recommender never upgrades an Unknown field to supported.
4. Follow provider evidence
Use provider and documentation URLs to verify requirements before implementation.
