About Auth0 MCP Server
Connect your Auth0 tenant to any AI agent and empower it to become a master Identity and Access Management (IAM) operator. Handle sophisticated user operations and global security queries directly through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Auth0 tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- User Management — List all users, search profiles, view connected social identities, and explicitly delete user data for right-to-be-forgotten requests
- Client & IdP Connections — Inspect configured Auth0 applications (SPAs, M2M APIs) and identity provider connections configured within your hub
- RBAC & Actions — Query global authorization roles and deployed Actions logic (serverless pipeline triggers) seamlessly
- Tenant Logs — Retrieve the system-level chronology of all actions, identifying blocked anomalous logins, tripped rate limits, and configuration changes instantly
The Auth0 MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Auth0 MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Auth0 through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows — Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Auth0 + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Auth0 MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Auth0 and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Auth0 tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Auth0 and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Auth0 data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Auth0 MCP Tools for Windsurf (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Auth0 to Windsurf via MCP:
delete_user
Vaporizes all bound external identity links, MFA setups, and locally-held database credentials instantly, ensuring complete privacy compliance during active right-to-be-forgotten regulatory requests. Permanently delete a user profile directly from Auth0
get_client
0 and OIDC configuration defined on an Auth0 application. Details allowable JWT token lifetimes, explicit allowed web origins/callbacks that defeat CSRF/Open Redirects, and mandatory encryption specifications enforcing end-to-end payload security. Detailed OIDC properties configured for a single Client
get_connection
Use this to audit parameters specifying explicit password strength validations, linked metadata attributes, or specialized enterprise-domain auto-routing triggers assigned uniquely to this specific strategy. View details and strategies of a single authentication connection
get_user
Use to view highly-sensitive identifiers, user_metadata (preference tracking editable by end user), and arrays mapping every linked external identity currently bound exclusively to this single unified account. Retrieve the unified JSON profile for a specific Auth0 user
list_actions
Actions alter authorization flows in real-time, block rogue logins, push enriched profiling into CRM, or force impromptu physical MFA checks. List serverless Javascript logic executing dynamically in pipelines
list_clients
Crucial for auditing grant types enforced globally on specific app boundaries. List all logical applications/clients spanning this Auth0 tenant
list_connections
Shows configurations targeting pure Auth0 Databases, external Google/Facebook Social wrappers, and rigid AD/LDAP infrastructure synced behind restrictive corporate firewalls. List all Identity Provider (IdP) connections attached to Auth0
list_logs
Captures successful logings, failed JWT validations, aggressive rate limits tripped, silent user migrations executed, and administrative mutations made continuously within the console dashboard. Retrieve the chronological stream of all executed Auth0 tenant logs
list_roles
Used to securely decouple authorization scopes from standard authentication, allowing APIs to restrict backend mutations securely via verified RBAC permission tokens attached intrinsically into emitted JWTs. List RBAC roles defined intrinsically within the Auth0 Core Engine
list_users
Includes core Auth0 attributes, creation timestamps, and customized app_metadata mappings securely controlled globally by the backend. List all users registered in the Auth0 tenant
Example Prompts for Auth0 in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with Auth0 immediately.
"List all configured Connections registered in our Auth0 tenant."
"Get the detailed JSON block surrounding user ID 'auth0|5ecc9f1...'"
"Fetch the tenant logs and tell me why IPs are getting blocked."
