Ship AI without shipping risk.
headless identity infrastructure

Unified access at agent speed

Every identity capability exposed as APIs, MCP tools, and CLI, not locked in a UI.

Unified access at agent speed
The identity stack was built for humans logging into consoles. AI agents broke that model.

Agents don't click. They need programmatic interfaces and crosscutting access governed at AI speed.

What headless identity infrastructure unlocks

Every identity.

Every identity and permission managed from one platform — replacing the point tools that don't share a model.

Every connection.

API, MCP, CLI, Terraform, Slack, Teams, Cursor, or the console. Identity meets your stack.

Under a single policy layer.

Humans, workloads, and AI agents governed from one policy model, one audit trail. No bolt-ons.

Every capability. Any interface.

Automate every identity workflow from code.

Every action in the console is available via API. C1 operates as an MCP server — authorization checks, credential issuance, and access requests are discoverable tools for Claude Code, Cursor, and custom agents.

Agents are first-class identities, not bolt-ons.

Human, service, workload, and AI agent identities governed from one control plane. Delegation, ephemeral credentials, scoped tools, and human-in-the-loop are native — not retrofitted.

Single, unified control plane.

Every primitive is exposed as APIs, MCP tools, CLI commands, and SDKs.

Fully auditable by default.

Full audit trail of API, MCP, and identity and access changes.

Ship policy at CI speed.

Policies as Terraform. AI-written CEL and functions. Validate via API. Version-control like infrastructure. Governance moves at the speed of your pipeline, not your ticket queue.

How C1 delivers headless identity

Connect your stack

300+ connectors (Baton, open source, Apache 2.0) integrate IdPs, directories, SaaS apps, cloud infrastructure, and on-prem systems into one identity graph. Hosted or self-hosted — credentials never have to leave your environment.

API-first identity platform

Every operation — vault, credentials, authorization, lifecycle, governance — is available over REST, MCP, CLI, Terraform, and webhooks. The console renders the same APIs your engineers, agents, and workflows call.

Govern every identity

Humans, workloads, and AI agents operate on the same graph, under the same policy model. Fine-grained authorization, ephemeral credentials, delegation chains, and scoped tool access all from one substrate.

Stay audit-ready

Every action logged with full context: subject, actor, delegation chain, purpose, resource, policy, outcome. Compliance evidence on demand.

The headless identity infrastructure for the agentic enterprise.
