What is the SuperTokens MCP Server?
Connect your SuperTokens Core instance to any AI agent to manage user lifecycles, session security, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) through natural language.
What you can do
- User Management — Sign up new users, sign in existing ones, and retrieve detailed user profiles or link multiple accounts together.
- Session Control — Create, refresh, and revoke sessions (JWT or database-backed) to maintain tight security over user access.
- RBAC & Permissions — Create roles, define permissions, and assign them to users to manage authorization levels dynamically.
- User Metadata — Store and update custom JSON metadata for users to track preferences or application-specific data.
- Account Linking — Seamlessly link or unlink different recipe user IDs to a primary user identity.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your SuperTokens Core URL and API Key
- Start managing your authentication layer from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Backend Developers — quickly debug user sessions or update roles without writing manual scripts or using a CLI.
- Support Teams — inspect user metadata and account status to resolve login issues or permission errors instantly.
- Security Engineers — audit roles and revoke suspicious sessions directly through a conversational interface.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings SuperTokens data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 18 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
Can I retrieve specific user information using their ID?
Yes, by using the get_user tool with the specific User ID, you can fetch the full profile, including email and account linking status.
How do I assign a specific role like 'admin' to a user?
You can use the assign_role_to_user tool. Just provide the User ID and the role name to update their permissions immediately.
Is it possible to update custom user data or preferences?
Absolutely. The update_user_metadata tool allows you to pass a JSON object to store or update custom information for any user.
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.
