About Okta MCP Server
Connect your Okta Identity Cloud instance to any AI agent to streamline identity management, user provisioning, and secure access flows. Eliminate the need to dig through administrative dashboards by interacting conversationally to create users, unblock accounts, or manage group assignments.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Okta tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- User Provisioning & Lifecycle — Interrogate the AI to list active users, retrieve specific profile details, create new identities, or cleanly deprovision departing employees
- Access Control & Troubleshooting — Instantly check a user's sign-in activity to resolve locks, reset credentials, or clear active sessions centrally
- Group Segregation — Manage departmental access by querying group directories, creating structured groups, or orchestrating bulk user assignments into logical access structures
- Application Assignment — Audit the integrations mapped to your user base, ensuring proper access to company apps based on the least-privilege principle
The Okta MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Okta MCP Tools for Cline (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Okta to Cline via MCP:
clear_user_sessions
Necessary when a device is compromised. Terminate all active login sessions for a specific user
deactivate_user
This instantly converts the user status to DEPROVISIONED, permanently revoking all active sessions, killing SAML/OIDC assertions, and blocking future application access. Use for emergency offboarding. Suspend and deprovision an Okta user account immediately
get_app
Includes critical security bindings, client secrets (for OIDC), X.509 cert chains, ACS URLs, and strict token-grant lifespans. View detailed SSO configuration for a specific application
get_group
View details of a specific Okta Group
get_user
Input takes the explicit Okta User ID string. Get detailed profile and state for a specific Okta user
list_apps
Identifies available sign-on integrations spanning raw OIDC, classical SAML 2.0, SCIM provisioning connections, and SWA (Secure Web Authentication) apps. List all applications integrated within the Okta dashboard
list_group_users
Essential when determining precisely who was automatically granted SCIM or cloud application licenses due to their directory membership mapping. List all users currently assigned to an Okta Group
list_groups
Group policies explicitly determine which users can authenticate into which bound SAML apps, making this endpoint critical for auditing permissions. List all security, app, and dynamic Okta Groups
list_system_logs
Contains every discrete sign-in attempt, MFA challenge result, configuration tweak, and malicious password spraying anomaly. Max 100 recent entries. Retrieve Recent Okta System and Audit log events
list_users
