The auth layer for AI agents.
corri is open-source middleware that checks a signed agent's identity and applies your access policy (allow, deny, or charge) before your protected code runs. Add it in one line.
why corri
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Open source, yours
MIT licensed. Self-host it anywhere, read every line, no vendor lock-in, no account required.
One line to add
createCorri({ agents }), then wrap your handler. The secret, issuer and policy all have sane defaults.
Real agent identity
Cryptographic signatures (RFC 9421 / Web Bot Auth). Not IP lists or user-agent guessing.
Get paid per request
Agents with wallets pay USDC over x402, straight to your address. Verified before your code runs.
Signed receipts
Portable, offline-verifiable proof of who accessed what, under which terms.
Tiny & fast
~10 KB, WebCrypto, edge-ready, near-zero dependencies. 155 tests. Nothing you have to run.
the whole integration
Declare who you trust. Wrap your handler.
A robot knocks on your door. corri checks its ID. If it's allowed in, it comes in. If it has to pay first, it pays. That's the whole integration.
import { createCorri } from "@corri/sdk/server";
// The only required field: who you trust.
export const corri = createCorri({
agents: { "research-agent.example": AGENT_PUBLIC_JWK }
});
// app/api/report/route.ts: the one line that protects it.
export const GET = corri.protect(async () =>
Response.json({ report: await loadReport() }) // runs only once authorized
);Want to charge for access? Add access: "paid", price and pay: { wallet }. Nothing else to wire.
