Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Hanko (Passkey Auth) MCP Server?
Connect your Hanko instance to any AI agent to streamline passkey-based authentication and user management. This server provides a comprehensive interface for WebAuthn flows and administrative user operations.
What you can do
- Passkey Lifecycle — Initialize and finalize WebAuthn registration and login flows for secure, passwordless access.
- Credential Management — List and delete registered WebAuthn credentials for specific users.
- User Administration — Create, retrieve, and list users and their associated credentials via admin tools.
- Transaction Security — Initialize and finalize passkey-signed transactions for sensitive operations like payments.
- Session Validation — Publicly validate sessions and retrieve JWKS for token verification.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hanko Tenant ID and API Key
- Start managing identity flows from your MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Developers — quickly test and debug WebAuthn registration and login flows without manual API calls.
- Security Engineers — audit user credentials and manage identity access policies through a conversational interface.
- Product Teams — simulate and verify user onboarding and transaction signing workflows.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Hanko (Passkey Auth) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 15 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
How do I start a new passkey registration for a user?
Use the passkey_registration_init tool with the user's ID and username. This will return the necessary WebAuthn options to be used on the client side.
Can I view all WebAuthn credentials associated with a specific user?
Yes, you can use the passkey_list_credentials tool (or admin_list_user_credentials for admin access) to retrieve a list of all registered passkeys for any user ID.
Is it possible to create a user directly through the AI agent?
Absolutely. Use the admin_create_user tool to provision a new user in your Hanko project by providing a unique user ID.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
