# Aback Launch auth.md

How AI agents authenticate with Aback Launch (https://abacklaunch.com).

## Audience

Any AI agent or developer tool reading Aback Launch data on a person's behalf.

## Registration

None. There is no agent registration and no provisioning endpoint: the agent surfaces are public.

## Supported methods

- **Anonymous (no credentials)** for every agent surface:
  - MCP server: `https://abacklaunch.com/mcp` (server card: `https://abacklaunch.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json`)
  - REST API: `https://abacklaunch.com/api/v1` (OpenAPI: `https://abacklaunch.com/api/v1/openapi.json`)
  - Agent skills: `https://abacklaunch.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json`
  - Pages as Markdown: append `.md` or send `Accept: text/markdown`

All of these are read-only and rate limited per IP. Send no tokens, cookies or API keys.

## Credential use

Actions on an account (submitting a product, voting, commenting, paying) need a person signed in on the website at https://abacklaunch.com/sign-in. Agents must not ask a person for their password, create accounts, or act with a person's session. Prepare the content and hand the final step to the person.

There is no OAuth authorization server or OpenID Connect provider for agents, so this site publishes no OAuth discovery or protected resource metadata.
