Auth0 MCP Server for Windsurf Cascade

Cascade shines when it chains complex identity tasks. You tell it to audit a specific application boundary, and it fires off `list_clients` to find the target tenant. Then it grabs the exact OIDC configuration using `get_client` to check JWT token lifetimes and allowed web origins. This MCP integration lets Windsurf read the context of your current codebase, map the required Auth0 configurations, and execute the sequence autonomously. It pulls the raw JSON right into your editor so you can fix CSRF vulnerabilities instantly.

Audit Identity Providers Instantly

Managing enterprise SSO usually means clicking through ten different dashboard screens. Now you just ask your agent to pull your active directories. Cascade runs `list_connections` to dump every Google, Facebook, and LDAP integration attached to your tenant. If a specific corporate firewall sync looks broken, your agent digs deeper. It triggers `get_connection` to inspect the password strength validations and enterprise-domain auto-routing triggers. You see the exact configuration mismatch right next to your code.

Debug Login Failures In-Editor

Finding out why a user can't log in is a massive time sink. Instead of opening a browser, tell Windsurf to investigate the recent authentication blocks. The agent hits `list_logs` to pull the chronological stream of failed JWT validations and aggressive rate limits. Once it spots the error, it can cross-reference the affected account. Cascade automatically runs `get_user` to check the unified JSON profile and verify if their external identity link is broken. The entire debugging flow happens while you watch.

Setup guide

Set up Auth0 MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

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

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Auth0 MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Auth0 payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Auth0 tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Auth0 MCP in Windsurf

Open the built-in MCP Marketplace inside your editor for a one-click install. You can also edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` manually and add the Vinkius endpoint. Click Refresh in the panel to let Cascade discover the tools.

Yes, but it requires your explicit prompt goal. If you tell Cascade to process a right-to-be-forgotten request, it will execute `delete_user` to wipe the profile and MFA setups. The agent handles the API calls, but you initiate the sequence.

Your Vinkius endpoint token might be expired or missing from the configuration file. Check your `mcpServers` block to ensure the authentication headers are present. Once fixed, Cascade can pull the chronological stream again.

Not at all. You just ask your agent to list the backend permissions. It runs `list_roles` in the background and returns the exact scopes attached to your JWTs.

Vinkius runs the server in an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox with zero-trust architecture. When your agent fetches a profile via `get_user`, the JSON containing user_metadata and linked external identities routes securely through the sandbox. No personal data persists after the session closes.
