The identity provider posts here, and today this does one thing: it sends the sign-up verification email, in plain text, when the provider's own template is set not to deliver. NO CREDENTIAL OF OURS AUTHENTICATES IT, because the sender holds none. A delivery is authenticated by a signature over the raw body, carried in three `svix-*` headers and checked before the body is parsed. WHAT THE STATUS CODES MEAN. 200 is settled and should not be delivered again, including the outcomes that could not send anything, because a repeat carries the same payload. 400 is a delivery that was not authentic or not readable, and nothing was sent. 503 is a send that failed in a way worth repeating. A repeat of a delivery whose email already went out does not send a second one. A body over 262144 bytes is refused as it streams. IT IS ABSENT ON A DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT A SIGNING SECRET OR WITHOUT AN EMAIL SENDER, and in local mode. Hosted deployments only. A local checkout does not mount this route, so calling it there is a 404. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api/openapi.json post /webhooks/clerk openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Phonebase HTTP API version: 0.1.0 summary: >- Every HTTP operation the control plane mounts, generated from the app's own route table. description: >- The control plane exposes two HTTP surfaces, and reading the boundary between them matters more than reading any single endpoint. The CONTROL surface is what your backend and your operators call. It takes a bearer token in the `Authorization` header, and two credential channels resolve to the same authorization context: an OAuth 2.1 access token for interactive clients, or an org scoped API key for headless ones. The DEVICE surface, under `/vrx/{runToken}/v1`, is what a worker calls while executing one run. Its credential is the run token in the url path, and it reads no `Authorization` header at all. Device control itself is not REST. An agent taps, swipes and reads the screen over the Model Context Protocol at `POST /mcp`, one tool call at a time. There is no `POST /v1/devices/{id}/tap`, and if you are looking for one, start with the tool reference instead. Operations marked `"x-phonebase-modes": ["hosted"]` exist only on a hosted deployment; a local checkout does not mount them. servers: - url: '{origin}' description: Your control plane origin. variables: origin: default: https://mcp.phonebase.co enum: - https://mcp.phonebase.co - http://127.0.0.1:8788 description: >- The hosted deployment serves the public origin its metadata document advertises, and that is the default here.
