How to Set Up and Use Auth0
The Auth0 MCP server connects AI assistants to the Auth0 Management API, enabling natural-language administration of your Auth0 tenant — creating applications, deploying Actions, querying authentication logs, managing resource servers, and configuring grants — without leaving your AI workflow. It uses OAuth 2.0 device authorization flow for secure browser-based authentication, storing credentials in the system keychain rather than plain-text config files. DevOps teams and developers use it to automate Auth0 configuration tasks and troubleshoot authentication issues through conversational commands.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later (for npx)
- An Auth0 account with an existing tenant — sign up at auth0.com
- Access to the Auth0 Management API (available on free and paid plans)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- Browser access for the one-time OAuth device authorization flow
Run the initialization command
The init command sets up the MCP server and triggers the OAuth device authorization flow. For Claude Code specifically, add the --client flag. For Claude Desktop, omit it.
npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init
# or for Claude Code:
npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client claude-codeComplete browser-based authentication
After running init, open the displayed URL in your browser and log in to your Auth0 account to authorize the MCP server. Credentials are stored securely in your system keychain.
Add to Claude Desktop config (alternative manual setup)
If you prefer manual configuration or need to set up for a private cloud tenant with client credentials, add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json.
{
"mcpServers": {
"auth0": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@auth0/auth0-mcp-server", "run"],
"env": {
"AUTH0_DOMAIN": "your-tenant.auth0.com",
"AUTH0_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
"AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
}
}
}
}Restrict available tools (optional)
For security, limit the MCP server to read-only operations or a specific subset of tools using environment variables.
# Read-only mode:
AUTH0_MCP_READ_ONLY=true
# Restrict to specific tool patterns:
AUTH0_MCP_TOOLS=get_*,list_*Verify access with a log query
Ask Claude to check Auth0 logs for recent activity. A successful response confirms the MCP server is connected to your tenant.
Auth0 Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop config using the Auth0 MCP server with client credentials for a private cloud tenant.
{
"mcpServers": {
"auth0": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@auth0/auth0-mcp-server", "run"],
"env": {
"AUTH0_DOMAIN": "your-tenant.auth0.com",
"AUTH0_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
"AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Auth0 management tasks you can perform through Claude with the MCP server connected.
- "Create a new Auth0 application called 'My API' and give me the client ID and domain"
- "Deploy an Auth0 Action that adds a custom claim to the JWT token"
- "Show me all failed login attempts from the last 24 hours"
- "List all resource servers (APIs) configured in my tenant"
- "Check Auth0 logs for any suspicious logins from unusual IP addresses"Troubleshooting Auth0
OAuth device authorization times out before browser login
The device code has a short expiry window (usually 5 minutes). Run `npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init` again and complete the browser step immediately after the URL appears. Ensure your browser can reach auth0.com.
Management API returns 403 Forbidden for certain operations
Check that the authorized application in Auth0 has the required Management API scopes for the operations you're attempting. In the Auth0 dashboard, go to Applications > APIs > Auth0 Management API and verify the granted scopes.
Debug logging shows unexpected tool errors
Enable debug mode with `DEBUG=auth0-mcp` in your environment to see detailed request/response logs. Also verify the AUTH0_DOMAIN value does not include 'https://' — it should be the bare domain like your-tenant.auth0.com.
