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

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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
Server not connecting
Check Settings → MCP for the server status. Try toggling it off and on.
