Introduction

Introduction to Beak.

✎ Edit on GitHub

Beak is an agent identity platform for AI-powered applications. It gives engineering and security teams a complete, self-hostable layer for managing every AI agent running in their organization — from initial registration to real-time policy enforcement and instant revocation.

Beak is open source under the MIT license. Deploy it on your own infrastructure and keep full control of your data.

Features

Beak is designed to be the single source of truth for every AI agent in your stack. It provides a wide range of capabilities out of the box:

Identity

Agent registration
Multi-tenant isolation
Shadow AI detection
Blast-radius scoring

Credentials

Short-lived ephemeral tokens
Task-scoped access
Enterprise SSO (OIDC)
Encrypted secret vault

Control

Rego policy enforcement
Sub-500ms revocation
Global kill-switch
Immutable audit log

…and much more.

AI Tooling

LLMs.txt

Beak exposes an llms.txt that helps AI models understand how to integrate and interact with the platform. See it at beak.thebirdling.com/llms.txt.

MCP

Beak provides an MCP server so you can use it with any AI model that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Terminal 
# Add to Cursor
npx beak mcp --cursor

Manual Configuration (Claude Code)
