Audit user sessions from Claude Desktop

The `list_active_sessions` tool lets Claude Desktop query active browser and device instances across your entire Clerk application. You feed your agent a user ID, and it returns every active session, helping you debug login issues or flag suspicious activity without opening the Clerk dashboard. This setup runs through a secure local connection on your machine. You get immediate visibility into `list_clerk_clients` to pinpoint exactly which browsers or devices are hitting your auth endpoints right now.

Run B2B tenant checks in your chat window

The `list_clerk_organizations` tool allows your Claude Desktop agent to pull a clean list of your multi-tenant B2B organizations. You ask your agent which companies are active, and it queries your workspace to show company profiles and membership counts. You can instantly pivot to inspect specific user access levels or check who has pending access. The agent calls `list_sent_invitations` to show you who is still waiting to join a specific tenant, keeping your onboarding pipeline visible.

Manage your authentication allowlist via MCP Server

The `list_auth_allowlist` tool gives your Claude Desktop agent direct access to your restricted signup domains and email lists. Instead of hunting through settings, you ask your agent to verify if a user's domain is allowed to register. If you need to verify a user's status, the agent runs `get_user_auth_details` to pull their specific profile data. You get exact creation dates, email verification states, and metadata fields without leaving your terminal-adjacent chat interface.
