Smithery Connect: Fine-Grained Tokens
See a live demo of Smithery Connect, simplifying AI agent tool connections. Learn to set up secure, scoped tokens for safe tool access across browsers, mobile, and agents.
A live demo of Smithery Connect — a managed service that handles the messy parts of connecting AI agents to tools (OAuth flows, credential storage, token refresh) so you don’t have to.
I’ll show how to set up a connection to an MCP server in seconds without configuring redirect URIs or client secrets, then do a deep dive into token scoping: creating short-lived, fine-grained tokens that let you safely expose tool access to browsers, mobile apps, and AI agents.
We’ll explore the idea of Biscuit tokens and attenuation — tokens can only be narrowed, never widened — so you can hand a scoped token to untrusted code and know it can’t escalate its own permissions.
