What is the OpenFGA (Fine-Grained Auth) MCP Server?
Connect your OpenFGA instance to any AI agent to manage Relationship-Based Access Control (ReBAC) through natural conversation. OpenFGA is an open-source fine-grained authorization solution inspired by Google's Zanzibar.
What you can do
- Store Management — Create, list, and delete isolated stores to manage authorization data for different environments or applications.
- Authorization Modeling — Define and retrieve complex authorization models using types and relations to represent your system's permissions.
- Tuple Management — Write, read, and track changes to relationship tuples that define which users have which relations to specific objects.
- Relationship Checks — Instantly evaluate whether a user has a specific relation to an object (e.g., 'can user:anne view document:1?').
- Health Monitoring — Quickly check the status of your OpenFGA instance to ensure high availability.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OpenFGA API URL and API Token (if applicable)
- Start managing your authorization logic from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Security Engineers — Audit relationship tuples and verify authorization models without manual API calls.
- Backend Developers — Quickly test and iterate on authorization models during development directly from the IDE.
- DevOps & SREs — Monitor store health and manage authorization environments across different clusters.

Frequently asked questions
How can I check if a specific user has access to a resource?
You can use the check_relation tool. Provide the store ID and the relationship details (user, relation, and object) to get an immediate boolean response on whether the access is permitted.
Can I see the history of changes made to relationship tuples?
Yes, the read_changes tool allows you to retrieve the changelog of relationship tuples for a specific store, optionally filtered by object type.
How do I define a new authorization model?
Use the write_authorization_model tool. You will need to provide the store ID, the schema version, and a JSON array of type definitions that describe your relations.
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.
