Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Descope (Auth Platform) MCP Server?
Connect Descope to your AI agent to manage and test user authentication flows through natural conversation. Descope is a drag-and-drop authentication and user management platform for any application.
What you can do
- OTP Authentication — Initiate and verify One-Time Passwords via Email, SMS, or Voice using tools like
auth_otp_signup_emailandauth_otp_verify_email. - Magic & Enchanted Links — Send secure sign-up/sign-in links and poll for session completion with
auth_magiclink_signup_emailorauth_enchantedlink_poll. - OAuth Integration — Start OAuth flows with providers like Google and exchange codes for active sessions using
auth_oauth_authorize. - Password Management — Handle traditional password-based sign-ups via
auth_password_signup. - Session Verification — Verify tokens and manage the authentication lifecycle directly from your workspace.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Descope Project ID and optional Management Key
- Start managing your auth flows from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Developers — Test authentication logic and verify OTP/Magic Link flows without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- QA Engineers — Automate the verification of sign-up and sign-in processes through natural language queries.
- Product Managers — Quickly inspect how different auth providers and methods are configured in your project.

Frequently asked questions
How do I verify an email OTP code sent to a user?
Use the auth_otp_verify_email tool by providing the user's loginId (email) and the code they received. The agent will return the session details if the verification is successful.
Can I start a Google OAuth login flow using this server?
Yes. Use the auth_oauth_authorize tool with 'google' as the provider and specify your redirectURL. The agent will initiate the OAuth flow for you.
What is the purpose of the enchanted link polling tool?
The auth_enchantedlink_poll tool allows the agent to check the status of a pending enchanted link authentication using a pendingRef. It helps determine if the user has clicked the link and completed the session.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
