How to Use the Auth0 MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I set up the Auth0 MCP Server for my project in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory. Add the server's configuration under the mcpServers key. Once you save the file, the Auth0 tools will be available in Agent mode.

Q: Is it possible to audit Auth0 security settings from inside Cursor?

Absolutely. Use tools like listconnections to check password policies or listclients to review token lifetimes across all your Auth0 apps, right from the editor.

Q: Does this work globally for all my Cursor projects or just one?

You can configure it either way. A .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root enables it just for that project. For global access, place the file in your /.cursor/ directory instead.

Inject live Auth0 user data and client configurations directly into your code with Cursor's agent mode.

Code Against Real Auth0 Data, Not Mocks

Stop writing code with fake user objects. Tell Cursor's agent to fetch a live user profile from your Auth0 tenant with `get_user`. It will get the actual JSON response, then generate code that correctly parses it. This means the functions you write will work the first time. You can also pull a full directory with `list_users` to build scripts for batch operations. Your code is based on reality from the first line.

Build Secure API Calls with your MCP Server

When you're building a feature that needs to talk to a protected API, you need the right configuration. Ask the agent to use `get_client` to pull the OIDC settings for your application. Cursor can then use that live data—grant types, callback URLs, token settings—to generate client-side or server-side code that is already compliant with your Auth0 setup. It's faster and less error-prone than copying and pasting from a dashboard.

Script Complex Admin and Security Tasks

Use Cursor as your Auth0 command center. You can ask the agent to chain commands together. For instance, "Use `list_logs` to find all the failed login attempts from the last 24 hours." Then you can follow up: "Now, generate a Python script that takes that log data and sends a summary to a Slack webhook." The MCP Server provides the raw data, and Cursor's agent writes the code to act on it.

Setup guide

Set up Auth0 MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Auth0 MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Auth0 transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Auth0 tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auth0-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}
