AGNTCY Identity Service

Welcome to the Identity Service repository

---

AGNTCY Identity Service serves as the central hub for managing and verifying digital identities for your Agentic Services. In today's interconnected digital landscape, secure and reliable identity management is paramount. AGNTCY Identity Service addresses this need by providing a streamlined service to:

• Verify the authenticity of existing identity badges.
• Register new Agentic Services, establishing their unique identities.
• Define TBAC (Task-Based Access Control) policies to govern access and permissions.

Whether you are integrating existing services or deploying new ones, AGNTCY Identity Service ensures that all your components—including MCP Servers, A2A Agents, and OASF—are properly identified, managed and secured.

⚡️ Get Started in 5 Minutes

This short guide allows you to setup the Identity Service Frontend as well as the Identity Service Backend.

Prerequisites

To run these steps successfully, you need to have the following installed:

• Docker Desktop, or have both: Docker Engine v27 or higher and Docker Compose v2.35 or higher

1. Setup OIDC Provider

   • Create an OIDC application in your OIDC provider.

     You can use any OIDC provider of your choice. For testing purposes, you can use Ory, Keycloak or Auth0. Configure the following variables in your shell environment:

     export OIDC_ISSUER_URL=<OIDC_ISSUER_URL>
     export OIDC_CLIENT_ID=<OIDC_CLIENT_ID>
     export OIDC_LOGIN_URL=<OIDC_LOGIN_URL>
     export OIDC_CLIENT_ID_CLAIM_NAME=<OIDC_CLIENT_ID_CLAIM_NAME>

     where:

     • OIDC_ISSUER_URL - The URL of your OIDC provider (e.g., https://{INSTANCE_URL}/oauth2/{CLIENT_ID}/.well-known/openid-configuration).

     • OIDC_CLIENT_ID - The client ID you created in your OIDC provider.

     • OIDC_LOGIN_URL - The login URL of your OIDC provider (e.g., https://{INSTANCE_URL}/oauth2/{CLIENT_ID}/authorize).

     • OIDC_CLIENT_ID_CLAIM_NAME - The claim name in the Access token that contains the client ID (default: cid).

       📝 NOTE Make sure to add http://localhost:5500 as a redirect URI for your OIDC client.

   • Or use our demo script to setup a local OIDC provider using Ory Hydra:

     . ./demo/scripts/setup_hydra_oidc

     This will setup a local OIDC provider using Ory and configure the necessary environment variables in your shell.

2. Start the Frontend and the Backend with Docker:

   ./deployments/scripts/launch.sh

   Or use make if available locally:

   make start

   📝 NOTE You can also install the Backend and the Frontend using our Helm charts.

3. Access the Frontend UI and the Backend APIs:

   • The Backend APIs will be available at: http://localhost:4000 for REST and http://localhost:4001 for gRPC.
   • The Frontend UI will be available at: http://localhost:5500.
