# Authentication
|
|
|
|
Mission Control supports two auth modes via `AUTH_MODE`:
|
|
|
|
- `local`: shared bearer token auth for self-hosted deployments
|
|
- `clerk`: Clerk JWT auth
|
|
|
|
## Local mode
|
|
|
|
Backend:
|
|
|
|
- `AUTH_MODE=local`
|
|
- `LOCAL_AUTH_TOKEN=<token>`
|
|
|
|
Frontend:
|
|
|
|
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH_MODE=local`
|
|
- Provide the token via the login UI.
|
|
|
|
## Clerk mode
|
|
|
|
Backend:
|
|
|
|
- `AUTH_MODE=clerk`
|
|
- `CLERK_SECRET_KEY=<secret>`
|
|
|
|
Frontend:
|
|
|
|
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH_MODE=clerk`
|
|
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<key>`
|
|
|
|
## Agent authentication
|
|
|
|
Autonomous agents authenticate via an `X-Agent-Token` header (not the bearer token used by human users). See [API reference](api.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
Security notes:
|
|
|
|
- Agent auth is rate-limited to **20 requests per 60 seconds per IP**. Exceeding this returns `429 Too Many Requests`.
|
|
- Agent tokens are **not logged** on authentication failure — not even partially. If debugging agent auth issues, verify the token value at the source rather than looking for it in server logs.
