Auth0 MCP Server
Official
Manage Auth0 tenants via natural language MCP server
GitHub source repository ↗
62FMRS · C
The Auth0 MCP Server provides an official way to connect AI assistants to Auth0 Management APIs, supporting natural language operations. It is easy to install and works with multiple MCP clients, but is in Beta and requires careful management of permissions and scopes.
The Auth0 MCP Server connects LLMs and AI agents to Auth0 Management APIs, allowing you to create apps, deploy Actions, query logs, and manage users using natural language. It authenticates via OAuth 2.0 device authorization flow and stores credentials securely.

Setup
- Ensure Node.js v18 or higher.
- For Claude Desktop, run
npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init. - For other clients, use
npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client <client-name>or manually add MCP configuration. - After running init, your browser will open automatically to complete the OAuth device authorization flow.
- Restart your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to load the server.

Fit and risk
Not for
- Production use (currently in Beta, features may change)
- Private cloud tenants (device authorization flow not supported)
- Scenarios requiring broad permissions without careful scope configuration
Required permissions
- Requires access to Auth0 Management API, authenticated via OAuth 2.0 device authorization flow or client credentials
- Supported scopes include read:clients, create:clients, update:clients, read:resource_servers, create:resource_servers, update:resource_servers, read:actions, create:actions, update:actions, read:logs, read:forms, create:forms, update:forms
- Credentials are stored in the system keychain, never plain text
Risks and side effects
- Server is in Beta, may have undiscovered bugs or feature changes
- If misconfigured (e.g., granting too many permissions), AI assistant may inadvertently modify your Auth0 tenant
- API usage consumes rate limits
- Logs and conversation history may contain sensitive information (though automatic redaction is present)
Troubleshooting
- If authentication fails, re-run `npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init`
- Check if the server is running: `ps aux | grep auth0-mcp`
- Enable debug mode: `export DEBUG=auth0-mcp`
- Check session status: `npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server session`
- If configuration is invalid, reinitialize or update the token
