Kinde

Kinde is a developer-first authentication and customer identity platform that bundles authentication (passwords, passwordless, social, enterprise SSO), authorization (roles, permissions, scopes), B2B organizations, billing, and feature flags into a single integrated product. Founded in Australia, Kinde positions itself as "the fully integrated developer platform — secure and monetize your product from day one" and is used by over 70,000 developers. The platform exposes a Management API for tenant administration and an Account API for end-user self-service flows, both backed by published OpenAPI specs and a large open-source SDK ecosystem on GitHub (TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, Elixir, Flutter, iOS, Android, Expo, React Native, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix, TanStack Start) plus a Go-based CLI, a Terraform provider, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents.
