What you can do with this MCP connector
Authing MCP Server - Manage Users, Roles & Access
Your agent connects straight to your Authing identity platform, letting you manage users, roles, and security logs without touching the console. You can tell your AI client to list users, grab detailed profile metadata, and monitor security audit logs—it handles all the user orchestration and access control auditing through natural language.
User Management
Your agent can run list_users to pull a list of every application user registered in your pool. If you need specifics on one person, it uses get_user to fetch all the metadata and details for a specific user ID. You'll also use create_user to add new user accounts directly to your Authing system.
Organizational Structure
It maps out your company's structure for you. Your agent runs list_organizations to show all organizational units and branches. You can also see every user group defined in your environment by running list_groups.
Permissions and Access Control
To audit who can do what, your agent lists all defined roles using list_roles and lists all permission resources that define access boundaries via list_resources. You can also see every third-party application connected to your Authing account by calling list_applications.
Security and System Auditing
Your agent pulls a list of security audit logs using get_audit_logs to review administrative and user actions that happened recently. It checks your overall Authing pool security configurations by getting the high-level settings with get_security_settings. Finally, you can map out the full hierarchy of your company's organizational structure by running list_organizations.
How Authing MCP Works
- 1 Enter your Authing User Pool ID, Access Key, and Domain into the server configuration.
- 2 Ask your AI client to perform an action (e.g., 'List all users in the Engineering department').
- 3 The agent invokes the relevant tool (e.g.,
list_users), and the response is delivered directly to your chat interface.
The bottom line is: you manage your identity platform using simple conversation, without touching the Authing console.
Who Is Authing MCP For?
Security Engineers, IT Administrators, and Compliance Leads use this. They need a single pane of glass to manage the complexity of user lifecycles and access control. It eliminates the need to switch between the Authing dashboard, the logging system, and the user database just to answer a simple compliance question.
Automates compliance audits by running natural language queries against get_audit_logs and list_resources.
Manages user lifecycles, including creating accounts (create_user) and restructuring groups, all from the AI chat window.
Pulls administrative logs and audit resources to prove compliance or investigate a breach, without needing manual console navigation.
What Changes When You Connect
- Audit Compliance Faster: Instead of clicking through dozens of log entries, ask your agent to run
get_audit_logsto instantly pull a summary of sensitive actions. You get the timeline, not the clicks. - Simplify User Lookups: Need to know what a user's full profile is? Use
get_user. It pulls all the metadata you need for one ID, skipping the manual search and deep-dive into multiple tabs. - Map Company Structure: Building an org chart used to mean downloading a spreadsheet. Now, running
list_organizationsgives you the full hierarchy and branch count immediately. - Control Access: When adding a new user,
create_userhandles the basic setup. Then, uselist_rolesandlist_resourcesto confirm they are only granted the minimum necessary permissions. - See All Connections: Use
list_applicationsto get an immediate inventory of every third-party service connected to your core identity platform. No more guessing what's integrated. - Audit Permissions: Don't trust roles just because they exist. Run
list_rolesandlist_resourcestogether to get a clear view of who can access what, enforcing least privilege via conversation.
Real-World Use Cases
Investigating a Suspicious Access Attempt
A security engineer notices unusual activity. Instead of manually sifting through the Authing console, they ask their agent to run get_audit_logs and then get_user for the suspicious ID. The agent compiles the event history and the user's profile in one response, pinpointing the exact moment and resource accessed.
Onboarding a New Department
An IT admin needs to set up a new department. They first use list_organizations to map the new branch, then list_groups to create the initial user groups, and finally create_user to onboard the team members. It’s a controlled, auditable sequence of actions.
Compliance Check for PII Access
A compliance lead must prove that only 'Finance' users can view sensitive PII. They run list_resources to see what data is protected, then list_roles to confirm only authorized roles are mapped to those resources. This confirms policy adherence without leaving the chat.
Auditing System Scope Creep
A power user suspects an unauthorized app was added. They use list_applications to get a full inventory. If the app isn't on the list, they immediately know there's a gap in their identity controls.
The Tradeoffs
Jumping between consoles
Opening the Authing dashboard, then switching to the Audit Log view, then pulling up the User Profile page, just to answer 'When did X happen?' This process takes 15 minutes and requires 5 copies and 3-4 context switches.
→
Ask your agent to combine the data. Prompt it to check get_audit_logs and then get_user for the specific user ID. The agent handles the cross-referencing in one go.
Assuming the role definition is enough
Thinking that simply listing roles (list_roles) means you know who has access to the data. Roles are just names; you need to know what they can do.
→
Always pair list_roles with list_resources to map out the full permission boundary. This shows exactly what the role allows, not just that it exists.
Manually checking user status
Needing to verify if a user exists or what their status is. The old way is navigating to the user ID page, which is slow and error-prone.
→
Use list_users first to confirm the user's existence, and then run get_user for the full metadata dump. This keeps the workflow contained within the AI chat.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your job involves frequently checking who has access to what, or managing the lifecycle of a user account. This is for Security Engineers and IT Admins who need to audit permissions or provision accounts quickly. Don't use it if your only goal is to view simple, unaggregated data (e.g., just a list of usernames). For simple listing, list_users is enough. But if you need the metadata or the context (like the org unit or the last login time), you need the full toolset. If you need to build a whole system, check out an API-first Identity Management solution instead of relying solely on this conversational layer.

Available Capabilities
Manually tracing a user's permissions shouldn't require 12 clicks.
Today, tracking down why a user can or can't access a resource is a nightmare. You jump between the User Dashboard, the Role Definition screen, and the Resource Policy panel. You copy a User ID, paste it into the Audit Log, then manually cross-reference the dates and roles. It’s a multi-tab, multi-system archaeology project.
With the Authing MCP Server, you just ask your agent. You prompt it to check `get_audit_logs` against a specific user and resource. It runs the necessary tools, pulls the data, and gives you a clear answer right in the chat. No dashboard jumping required.
Authing MCP Server: Get a full user audit in one prompt.
You don't have to run five separate queries. You can ask for the user's full profile (`get_user`), the roles they hold (`list_roles`), and the logs related to their last activity (`get_audit_logs`). The agent chains these calls automatically.
It's one unified conversation that pulls together identity, access, and activity data. You get a complete picture of the user's activity and permissions, instantly.
