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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Ping Identity tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf 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 Windsurf with the Ping Identity MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Ping Identity through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Ping Identity + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Ping Identity MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Ping Identity and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Ping Identity tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Ping Identity and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Ping Identity data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Ping Identity MCP Tools for Windsurf (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Ping Identity to Windsurf 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
Example Prompts for Ping Identity in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with Ping Identity immediately.
"Can you list all OIDC applications configured in PingOne and highlight any insecure callbacks?"
"Provide the active list of Zero-Trust risk policies governing my environment."
"Delete the specific suspended user profile assigned to the ID `81773-XYZ-192`."
