About Ping Identity MCP Server
Connect your Ping Identity environment to any AI agent to streamline identity and access management (IAM). You can audit users, check security policies, and review applications directly through conversation.
Claude Code registers Ping Identity as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Ping Identity data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- User Management — List identities, view detailed user profiles, and safely delete users across the enterprise directory.
- Applications & Groups — Audit all Web, Native, or SPA apps federated under your environment, and list active IAM groups.
- Populations — Review isolated populations dividing contractors, partners, or B2B clients.
- Risk & Policies — Inspect active Risk Management rules and Zero-Trust sign-on workflows dictating real-time MFA.
The Ping Identity MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Claude Code with the Ping Identity MCP Server
Claude Code provides unique advantages when paired with Ping Identity through the Model Context Protocol.
Single-command setup: `claude mcp add` registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Ping Identity tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
Ping Identity + Claude Code Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Claude Code combined with the Ping Identity MCP Server delivers measurable value.
CI/CD integration: embed Ping Identity tool calls in your deployment pipeline to validate configurations or fetch secrets before shipping
Headless batch processing: schedule Claude Code to query Ping Identity nightly and generate reports without human intervention
Shell scripting: pipe Ping Identity outputs into other CLI tools for data transformation, filtering, and aggregation
Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Ping Identity status endpoints and alert on anomalies
Ping Identity MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Ping Identity to Claude Code via MCP:
delete_user
Revokes all current session tokens, nullifies application scopes, isolates SCIM directory references, and executes the formal deletion API. Hard delete a user identity and purge related credentials
get_application
Determines configured Implicit/Authorization Code grants, token lifespan definitions, embedded sign-on policies, and allowed callback URIs required for stringent redirection security mapping. Get configuration for a single federated Ping Identity application
get_group
View explicit details encompassing a standard Ping Group
get_user
Get complete contextual metadata for a specific Ping Identity user
list_applications
Crucial to verify application exposure footprint. List Web, Native or SPA apps federated under standard PingOne
list_groups
Allows mapping high-level RBAC scopes dynamically injected into ID tokens returned via SSO channels upon successful client authorization flows. List identity Groups utilized for aggregate permissions
list_populations
g., 'Contractors', 'Partners', 'B2B Clients') possessing inherently different default password complexities, independent password expiration parameters, and isolated self-service recovery scopes. List isolated Populations logically partitioning the Environment
list_risk_policies
Evaluates contextual IP anomalies, impossible travel, blocklisted VPN routes, or behavioral irregularities explicitly stepping up authentication flows or directly blocking malicious login execution. List active Risk Management rules dictating real-time MFA
list_sign_on_policies
Sign-on policies chain distinct rules together enforcing explicit MFA prompts, enforcing complex password structures based on population assignment, or mandating implicit biometric validation prior to releasing environment tokens. List logical Sign-on flows and strict authentication conditions
list_users
Paginates across all bounded external and internal localized users containing primary credentials, deeply nested JSON identifiers, and physical verification states assigned under the Enterprise Directory schema. List all user identities within the standard PingOne Environment
