Use AI to integrate (Logto Cloud):

If you're using AI-powered development tools, try [Logto MCP Server](https://docs.logto.io/logto-cloud/logto-mcp-server) to integrate Logto with the help of AI. It detects your framework, creates applications, and generates working code.

Logto provides comprehensive authentication solutions for web, mobile and desktop applications, supports [Machine-to-Machine (M2M)](https://docs.logto.io/quick-starts/m2m) authentication between services, [device flow](https://docs.logto.io/quick-starts/device-flow) for input-limited devices, and can serve as an Identity Provider (IdP) for [third-party applications](https://docs.logto.io/integrate-logto/third-party-applications) through standard protocols like [OpenID Connect(OIDC)](https://auth.wiki/openid-connect) and [OAuth 2.0](https://auth.wiki/oauth-2.0).

Start your integration by selecting the solution that best matches your needs:

## Add authentication for your applications[​](#add-authentication-for-your-applications "Direct link to Add authentication for your applications")

Whether you're building user-facing applications (like web, mobile, or desktop apps) or machine-to-machine (M2M) applications for service-to-service communication, you can quickly implement comprehensive [authentication](https://docs.logto.io/end-user-flows) and [user management](https://docs.logto.io/user-management) features by integrating Logto.

Built on OIDC standards, Logto enables **Omni sign-in** across all your applications. When you integrate multiple applications with Logto, they share the same identity system and authentication methods. This means users can sign in once and seamlessly access all your connected applications with a unified authentication experience.

Find integration guides for your preferred framework or programming language:

Or try a no-code integration solution via Protected App when you’re using Logto Cloud:

[Protected App

No-code integration solution powered by Cloudflare Workers.

Once your applications are integrated, you can restrict which users can access a specific application:

[App-level access control

Control who can sign in to each application using users, roles, organizations, and organization roles.

## Add SAML apps[​](#add-saml-apps "Direct link to Add SAML apps")

Logto (as an Identity Provider) supports integration with SAML protocol-based applications (as a Service Provider). Through SAML app integration, you can provide enterprise users with a secure, standardized Single Sign-On (SSO) experience.

[SAML app

As a SAML identity provider (IdP) to provide a SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) experience.

## Add third-party OIDC/OAuth apps[​](#add-third-party-oidc-oauth-apps "Direct link to Add third-party OIDC/OAuth apps")

When you want to enable third-party applications to authenticate with your Logto identity system, you can configure Logto as an [Identity Provider (IdP)](https://auth.wiki/identity-provider).

Logto can be used as an IdP through standard protocols like OAuth and OIDC, and external services can implement "Sign in with Logto" just like "Sign in with Google", allowing their users to authenticate using your Logto user system.

Unlike first-party applications, third-party apps can only request limited permissions. During the authentication flow, users will see a **consent screen** where they can review and approve what data and permissions the third-party app is requesting before granting access.

By creating third-party applications in Logto, you establish secure connections between your identity system and external services while giving your users control over their data sharing.

[Third-party apps (OIDC/OAuth)

As an OIDC/OAuth IdP to offer user consent: Securely share your user profiles and resources with partner apps.

## Extend Logto features with Management API[​](#extend-logto-features-with-management-api "Direct link to Extend Logto features with Management API")

Logto [Management API](https://openapi.logto.io/) enables you to programmatically control and automate Logto functionality in your applications.

When you need to extend Logto's abilities to enhance your product (such as [managing multi-tenant organizations](https://docs.logto.io/organizations), or automating workflows with Logto), you can leverage Logto Management API to build advanced features to fit your product needs.

[Interact with Management API

Programmatically control and automate Logto functionality using Management API.
