What does 'kavachOS' mean?

kavachOS is a portmanteau of 'kavach' (Sanskrit for 'armor') and 'OS' (operating system). The name describes the library's role: an operating layer that shields every identity, call, token, and delegation in an application.

How is 'kavach' pronounced?

Ka-vach. In Sanskrit (कवच), it means 'armor': the layered, protective armor warriors wore into battle.

A TypeScript library for authentication and authorization, covering both AI agents and human users. It provides identity, permissions, delegation chains, audit trails, and MCP OAuth 2.1 in a single package. MIT licensed, edge-native.
