auth0/auth0-mcp-server

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.
Connect Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf to your Auth0 tenant to create apps, deploy Actions, debug logs, and manage users — all without touching the dashboard.

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**
**Claude Desktop with read-only tools**
You can also explicitly select read-only tools:
**Claude Code**
Initialize the Auth0 MCP server for Claude Code
You will be prompted to choose a configuration scope:
- **User** — written to ~/.claude.json and available across all your projects.
- **Project** — written to .mcp.json at a project folder you specify, intended to be checked into version control and shared with your team.
**Windsurf**
**Cursor**
Step 1:
Step 2:
**Cursor with limited tools access**
**VS Code**
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**
**Gemini CLI**
Initialize the gemini MCP server for the Gemini CLI
Install the Gemini Extension
**Codex CLI**
Authenticate once with Auth0:
Then add the Auth0 MCP server to Codex:
You can also add it directly to ~/.codex/config.toml:
Restart Codex after updating the configuration.
**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:
You can add --tools ' ' 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
Onboard your project
To get a project running with Auth0 from scratch, ask your MCP Client to onboard it (e.g. Onboard my Next.js project with Auth0). This invokes the auth0_onboarding tool, which creates an Auth0 application configured for your framework and writes the credentials to a .env file in your project. Under the hood it composes the auth0_create_application and auth0_save_credentials_to_file tools to do this. It then hands off to auth0_get_quickstart_guide, which resolves your callback URLs, updates the application, and returns the framework-specific code to integrate the Auth0 SDK — taking you from no Auth0 setup to a working integration in a single guided flow.
