What is the Okta MCP Server?
Connect your Okta Identity Cloud instance to any AI agent to streamline identity management, user provisioning, and secure access flows. Eliminate the need to dig through administrative dashboards by interacting conversationally to create users, unblock accounts, or manage group assignments.
What you can do
- User Provisioning & Lifecycle — Interrogate the AI to list active users, retrieve specific profile details, create new identities, or cleanly deprovision departing employees
- Access Control & Troubleshooting — Instantly check a user's sign-in activity to resolve locks, reset credentials, or clear active sessions centrally
- Group Segregation — Manage departmental access by querying group directories, creating structured groups, or orchestrating bulk user assignments into logical access structures
- Application Assignment — Audit the integrations mapped to your user base, ensuring proper access to company apps based on the least-privilege principle
How it works
- Subscribe to this directory management server
- Introduce your Okta domain and organizational API Key (SSWS)
- Converse with your AI to perform administrative commands securely
Who is this for?
- IT & Helpdesk Teams — Instantly unlock accounts, trigger password resets, or check group assignments bypassing complex administrator screens
- Security Operations (SecOps) — Trace individual sign-in scopes, terminate hazardous sessions, and audit assigned organizational apps rapidly
- System Administrators — Construct custom automated onboarding or offboarding commands dictating user lifecycles natively
Built-in capabilities (10)
Necessary when a device is compromised. Terminate all active login sessions for a specific user
This instantly converts the user status to DEPROVISIONED, permanently revoking all active sessions, killing SAML/OIDC assertions, and blocking future application access. Use for emergency offboarding. Suspend and deprovision an Okta user account immediately
Includes critical security bindings, client secrets (for OIDC), X.509 cert chains, ACS URLs, and strict token-grant lifespans. View detailed SSO configuration for a specific application
View details of a specific Okta Group
Input takes the explicit Okta User ID string. Get detailed profile and state for a specific Okta user
Identifies available sign-on integrations spanning raw OIDC, classical SAML 2.0, SCIM provisioning connections, and SWA (Secure Web Authentication) apps. List all applications integrated within the Okta dashboard
Essential when determining precisely who was automatically granted SCIM or cloud application licenses due to their directory membership mapping. List all users currently assigned to an Okta Group
Group policies explicitly determine which users can authenticate into which bound SAML apps, making this endpoint critical for auditing permissions. List all security, app, and dynamic Okta Groups
Contains every discrete sign-in attempt, MFA challenge result, configuration tweak, and malicious password spraying anomaly. Max 100 recent entries. Retrieve Recent Okta System and Audit log events
Used for organization-wide identity reporting. List all users configured in the Okta Universal Directory
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Okta data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 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
Where do I retrieve my Okta Domain and API Token?
Log in to your Okta Admin Console. The Okta domain is simply the URL you use (e.g., company.okta.com). To get the API Key, navigate to Security -> API, then select the Tokens tab. Click Create Token, assign it a name, and securely copy the generated string.
Can the agent clear active sessions for a compromised user?
Yes! If you suspect an ongoing security incident, you can promptly ask the agent to clear user sessions (clear_user_sessions) by simply stating the user's ID or email. The integration talks back to Okta and terminates persistent connections instantaneously.
Is the administrator API key shared globally with anyone else?
No, your setup is extremely private and BYOC (Bring Your Own Credentials). The token is entered locally inside your private environment or workspace instance and injected tightly and exclusively into your isolated runtime execution. It is never exposed publically.
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.
