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:
- Node.js v18 or higher
- Claude Desktop or any other MCP Client
- Auth0 account with appropriate permissions
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:
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.
