Integrate Auth0 with AI agents to manage Auth0 operations using natural language. Easily create apps and retrieve domain
Allows AI assistants to manage Auth0 authentication services through natural language commands. You can create apps, manage users, and configure authentication settings by simply asking in plain English.
Auth0 is an official MCP server published by auth0 that provides AI assistants with tools and capabilities via the Model Context Protocol. Integrate Auth0 with AI agents to manage Auth0 operations using natural language. Easily create apps and retrieve domain It is categorized under cloud infrastructure, auth security.
You can install Auth0 in your AI client of choice. Use the install panel on this page to get one-click setup for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. This server runs locally on your machine via the stdio transport.
MIT
Auth0 is released under the MIT license. This is a permissive open-source license, meaning you can freely use, modify, and distribute the software.
Add new capabilities to Claude beyond text generation
Example
Access external data sources, execute code, interact with tools and services
Transform Claude from chatbot to action-taking agent
Provide Claude with access to relevant context and data
Example
Load project documentation, access knowledge bases, query databases
Get more accurate, context-aware responses
Automate multi-step workflows combining AI and external tools
Example
Research → Summarize → Create document → Send notification
Complete complex tasks end-to-end without manual steps
Share your MCP server with the developer community
Auth0 has been reliable for tool-calling workflows; the MCP profile page is a good permalink for internal docs.
Auth0 reduced integration guesswork — categories and install configs on the listing matched the upstream repo.
Useful MCP listing: Auth0 is the kind of server we cite when onboarding engineers to host + tool permissions.
Auth0 is a well-scoped MCP server in the explainx.ai directory — install snippets and categories matched our Claude Code setup.
Auth0 is among the better-indexed MCP projects we tried; the explainx.ai summary tracks the official description.
Strong directory entry: Auth0 surfaces stars and publisher context so we could sanity-check maintenance before adopting.
We wired Auth0 into a staging workspace; the listing’s GitHub and npm pointers saved time versus hunting across READMEs.

</div>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?
Prerequisites:
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:
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:
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.
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.
Restart your MCP Client (Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Cursor, etc.) and ask it to help you manage your Auth0 tenant

💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
