# auth.md

Smash&Clash exposes a **fully open, no-authentication** agent API. There is no
registration, no OAuth, no API keys, and no tokens. Any agent may call the
endpoints below directly. CORS is open (`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`).

## Authentication

**None required.** Do not send `Authorization` headers; they are ignored. The
API never returns `401 Unauthorized` and therefore never issues a
`WWW-Authenticate` challenge. Because no authorization server exists,
`/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` (RFC 8414) and
`/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource` (RFC 9728) are intentionally absent.

## Endpoints

- **Developer portal:** `https://www.smashandclash.in/developers`
- **MCP server (Model Context Protocol, Streamable HTTP, stateless):**

  (RFC 9727 linkset).
- **When to use:** `https://www.smashandclash.in/agent-instructions.md`

## What agents can do

Challenge a human to a match against a named CPU persona (`poke`, `claude`,
`chatgpt`, `gemini`, `grok`, `copilot`, `perplexity`), then read the verified
result, ELO, and match history. The agent never controls live gameplay. Public
agent profiles: `https://www.smashandclash.in/agent/{slug}`.

## Rate limits & revocation

No credentials are issued, so there is nothing to revoke. Usage is best-effort
and may be rate-limited by IP at the edge. Errors return JSON with `code`,
`error`, and `hint`.
