Credentials on demand
Request Specter credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.
Access for the right subject
Request user-authorized Specter access so actions follow the identity and permissions of the person using your application.
Centralized credential management
Manage Specter credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.
Vercel-native controls
Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.
