What is Auth0 MCP Server?

Auth0 MCP Server is a tool developed based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It serves as a bridge between AI assistants (such as Claude) and the Auth0 management platform. Through natural language instructions, you can perform various Auth0 management operations, such as creating applications, viewing logs, and managing APIs.

How to use Auth0 MCP Server?

It's very simple to use: 1) Install the Node.js environment. 2) Run the initialization command. 3) Authorize the connection to your Auth0 account. 4) Start using natural language to manage Auth0 in an AI assistant (such as Claude).

Applicable scenarios

It is particularly suitable for developers and administrators who need to quickly manage Auth0 without frequently switching tools. It is also applicable to scenarios where Auth0 configuration is completed through the chat interface during team collaboration.

Main features

Application management

Supports creating, viewing, updating, and deleting Auth0 applications, including single - page applications, native applications, and machine - to - machine applications.

API management

Manage resource servers (APIs), including creating APIs, defining scopes, and updating API configurations.

Action management

Create, deploy, and update Auth0 Actions to extend the functionality of the authentication process.

Log viewing

Query and analyze authentication logs in the Auth0 tenant, supporting filtering by conditions such as time and IP address.

Form management

Create and customize login, registration, and password reset forms, supporting brand - specific configurations.

Advantages

Natural language interaction - No need to memorize complex commands or navigate the management interface

Improve efficiency - Quickly complete multiple operation steps through chat

Secure authentication - Use the OAuth 2.0 device authorization flow

Fine - grained permission control - Precisely configure the scope of allowed operations

Local operation - Sensitive information will not leave your device

Limitations

Beta stage - Features may change, not recommended for production environments

Dependent on AI assistants - Requires clients such as Claude that support the MCP protocol

Learning curve - Need to understand the effective natural language instruction format

Permission management - Need to carefully configure the tool access permissions

How to use

Installation preparation

Ensure that Node.js v18 or a higher version is installed and prepare your Auth0 account.

Initialization settings

Run the initialization command to start the device authorization process, log in to your Auth0 account, and authorize it.

Configure the client

Configure the MCP server connection according to the AI assistant you are using (such as Claude Desktop).

Start using

Restart the AI assistant client and you can start using natural language to manage Auth0.

Usage examples

Create a new application

Create a new single - page application through natural language instructions and get the connection information.

Query login logs

Find login attempt records from a specific IP address.

Update API configuration

Modify the token validity period settings of an existing API.

🚀 Auth0 MCP Server Usage Guide

This guide provides a detailed introduction to the Auth0 MCP server, including installation, quick start, usage instructions, feature descriptions, development guides, security considerations, data collection explanations, and feedback and contribution information.

📦 Installation

Install via npm

npm install -g @auth0/auth0-mcp-server

Global Command Configuration

After installation, you can access the core functions through the global command mcp.

🚀 Quick Start

Initialize the device authentication process:
```
mcp init
```
Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to use the MCP server path:
```
mcp setup
```

💻 Usage Examples

Start the Server

mcp run

Stop the Service

mcp stop

Delete the Configuration

mcp logout

✨ Features

1. Device Authentication Process

Ensure your credentials are securely stored in the system keychain through the OAuth 2.0 device authorization process.

2. Secure Permission Management

By default, no permissions (scopes) are requested. You can selectively grant permissions through an interactive interface and support using wildcard patterns to quickly select relevant scopes (e.g., read:*).

3. Logging and Debugging

Enable debug logging:
```
DEBUG=auth0-mcp mcp run
```

View the MCP client logs:

tail -n 20 -F ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log

Credentials are securely stored in the system keychain.
By default, no permissions (scopes) are requested.
Support for interactive scope selection to precisely control granted permissions.
Support for using wildcard patterns to quickly select relevant scopes (e.g., read:*).

Useless Data Collection Explanation

When using this MCP server, some anonymous technical data may be collected, including but not limited to the MCP version, operating system information, and timestamps. This data helps Auth0 better understand the tool's usage to prioritize the development of features most important to users.

If you wish to opt out of this data collection, set the AUTH0_MCP_ANALYTICS environment variable to false.
