How to Use the Descope (Auth Platform) MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Descope (Auth Platform) inside Cursor?

Add the server configuration to your global /.cursor/mcp.json file or create a project-specific version in your root directory. Once added, enable Agent mode in your chat panel to let the AI call the tools. This configures the MCP server instantly.

Q: Can Cursor use Descope (Auth Platform) to reset user passwords during testing?

Yes, the agent can initiate a password reset using authpasswordreset. This allows you to test the entire recovery flow while writing the corresponding frontend views.

Q: How does Descope (Auth Platform) help me write better middleware in Cursor?

The editor pulls real public keys with authgetkeys to verify signatures. This ensures your local JWT verification logic matches your production Descope settings exactly.

Generate working auth code using live session data directly inside the Cursor editor.

Build Real Auth Code with the Cursor MCP Server

This MCP toolset gives your editor direct access to your Descope project configuration. When writing login logic, Cursor uses `auth_get_keys` to fetch your actual public keys and write precise token validation middleware. You no longer have to paste fake mock data into your files. The agent runs `auth_exchange_access_key` to fetch active session JWTs, allowing you to test your backend routes with real credentials during your coding session.

Debug WebAuthn and Biometrics

This server implements modern passkey authentication without guesswork. Your agent invokes `auth_webauthn_signup_start` and `auth_webauthn_signup_finish` to map out the exact payload structure your frontend needs to send. For login debugging, the editor executes `auth_webauthn_signin_start` and `auth_webauthn_signin_finish`. This outputs the correct JSON payloads so you can copy them directly into your integration tests.

Query User Directories While Coding

This server queries real user profiles without forcing you to leave your codebase. Your editor runs `mgmt_search_users` or `mgmt_get_user` to inspect the schema of your user objects and generate matching TypeScript interfaces. If you need to clean up test accounts, you run `mgmt_delete_user` directly from the chat sidebar. This keeps your development database clean without forcing you to switch windows.
