What Hitch Rails does
Couple your Rails app to anything that speaks MCP. Hitch is the hitch: it turns your Rails app into an authorization server implemented against the MCP 2026-07-28 authorization profile, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok, and any other MCP client can connect to your app's tools with OAuth handled for you.
