OAuth federation
Last updated 2026-06-14

OAuth federation lets you connect a source with one click instead of pasting API keys. You sign in to the tool, approve what Quri may read, and the source returns a token. No secret is ever copied by hand, and you can revoke Quri from inside that tool whenever you choose.
How to do this in Quri
- Open /app/connect and choose a source that supports one-click connect.
- Click connect and sign in to that tool in the window that opens.
- Review the access Quri is asking for, then approve it.
- Return to Quri — the connection is live, no keys to paste.
Frequently asked
- Why is OAuth safer than pasting an API key?
- You never handle the secret yourself, the grant is scoped to what Quri needs, and you can revoke it from the source at any time. A pasted key is broader and harder to take back.
- Can I disconnect a source I connected this way?
- Yes. Disconnect it inside Quri, or revoke Quri’s access from the tool itself. Either way the token stops working and Quri can no longer read that source.
