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.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Descope (Auth Platform) becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Descope (Auth Platform) tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

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 CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
