How to Use the Kinde (Modern Authentication) MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure Kinde (Modern Authentication) inside Windsurf?

Edit your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file. Add the server details under the mcpServers array. Click the refresh button in the MCP panel and Cascade will detect the tools.

Q: Can Windsurf create new Kinde (Modern Authentication) organizations automatically?

Yes, Cascade handles this autonomously. It uses the createorganization tool when you ask it to spin up a new tenant space. You do not need to click through the admin console.

Q: Does the agent update existing profiles?

It does. The updateuser tool allows the agent to modify fields on any existing identity. Just provide the user ID and the new data payload.

Let Cascade handle identity provisioning. Windsurf connects to Kinde and builds out users and tenants without stopping to ask you.

Windsurf automates tenant setup

This MCP server lets Cascade provision entire B2B environments. You give the agent a company name and an admin email. The IDE fires off `create_organization` to spin up the tenant space immediately. Then the agent chains right into `create_user` to set up the initial founder account. Cascade checks the output, grabs the new user ID, and confirms the environment is ready for testing.

Map roles and permissions fast

Pulling security configurations usually means digging through web dashboards. Now you just ask your IDE to check the current RBAC matrix. The agent runs `list_roles` and `list_permissions` to grab the exact IDs needed for your backend code. When you write authorization logic, Windsurf already knows the exact string values Kinde expects. It drops the right permission checks into your middleware without a single context switch.

Audit users with this MCP Server

Troubleshooting login failures gets much easier. Tell Cascade to find a specific customer account. The agent executes `list_users` to find the match, then hits `get_user` to pull the raw profile data. If a user needs a manual fix, Windsurf handles it on the spot. Your agent formats the payload and runs `update_user` to fix a typo in an email address or update a metadata field.

Cascade pulls the full list directly into your editor. It calls `list_roles` and displays the results in the chat. That makes writing authorization middleware much faster.

The sandbox restricts access to specific identity payloads like email addresses and role IDs. Vinkius isolates the connection in an ephemeral V8 environment. Tokens never leak into your local workspace.
