How do I get an Auth0 Management API Token?

Go to [**Auth0 Dashboard > Applications > APIs**](https://manage.auth0.com/#/apis), find the **Auth0 Management API**, create a **Machine to Machine Application**, authorize it with the scopes you need (e.g. read:users, create:users, read:logs), and copy the generated token.

Can I audit failed login attempts?

Yes! Use `list_logs` with type filter `f` (failed login) or `fu` (failed login with invalid email) to see all failed authentication attempts. For a specific user's history, use `list_user_logs` with their user_id.

Can I create and manage users programmatically?

Yes! Use `create_user` with a connection name, email and optional password. Use `update_user` to modify any user property (email, name, metadata, blocked status) and `delete_user` to remove them.

Auth0 Alternative + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Auth0 Alternative MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
