MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol introduced by Anthropic that standardizes how large language models communicate with external tools, resources or remote services.

[!CAUTION] Beta Software Notice: This software is currently in beta and is provided AS IS without any warranties.

  • Features, APIs, and functionality may change at any time without notice
  • Not recommended for production use or critical workloads
  • Support during the beta period is limited
  • Issues and feedback can be reported through the GitHub issue tracker

By using this beta software, you acknowledge and accept these conditions.

The Auth0 MCP Server integrates with LLMs and AI agents, allowing you to perform various Auth0 management operations using natural language. For instance, you could simply ask Claude Desktop to perform Auth0 management operations:

  • Create a new Auth0 app and get the domain and client ID

  • Create and deploy a new Auth0 action to generate a JWT token

  • Could you check Auth0 logs for logins from 192.108.92.3 IP address?

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites:

<br/>

Install the Auth0 MCP Server

Install Auth0 MCP Server and configure it to work with your preferred MCP Client. The --tools parameter specifies which tools should be available (defaults to * if not provided).

Claude Desktop with all tools

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init

Claude Desktop with read-only tools

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --read-only

You can also explicitly select read-only tools:

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --tools 'auth0_list_*,auth0_get_*'

Windsurf

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client windsurf

Cursor

Step 1:

Install MCP Server

Step 2:

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client cursor

Cursor with limited tools access

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client cursor --tools 'auth0_list_applications,auth0_get_application'

VS Code

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client vscode

You can configure VS Code for either global or workspace scope:

  • Global: Available in all VS Code instances
  • Workspace: Available only in a specific project/repository

The command will prompt you to choose your preferred scope and automatically configure the appropriate mcp.json file.

VS Code with limited tools access

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client vscode --tools 'auth0_list_*,auth0_get_*' --read-only

Gemini CLI

Initialize the gemini MCP server for the Gemini CLI

npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client gemini

Install the Gemini Extension

gemini extensions install https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server

Other MCP Clients

To use Auth0 MCP Server with any other MCP Client, you can manually add this configuration to the client and restart for changes to take effect:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auth0": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@auth0/auth0-mcp-server", "run"],
      "capabilities": ["tools"],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "auth0-mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can add --tools '<pattern>' to the args array to control which tools are available. See Security Best Practices for recommended patterns.

Authorize with Auth0

Your browser will automatically open to initiate the OAuth 2.0 device authorization flow. Log into your Auth0 account and grant the requested permissions.

[!NOTE] Credentials are securely stored in your system's keychain. You can optionally verify storage through your keychain management tool. Check out Authentication for more info.

Verify your integration

Restart your MCP Client (Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Cursor, etc.) and ask it to help you manage your Auth0 tenant
