One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 19 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Cerbos, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Cerbos. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Cerbos owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I test if a specific user has access to a resource without writing code?

    Yes. You can ask the agent to use the check_resources capability by providing the principal (user) details and the resource you want to check. The agent will return the allowed or denied status based on your Cerbos policies.

  • 02

    How do I view all the authorization policies currently loaded in my Cerbos server?

    Simply ask the agent to 'list all policies'. It will invoke the list_policies capability (requires Admin credentials) and display the IDs of all active policies in your environment.

  • 03

    Can the AI help me generate filters for my database based on permissions?

    Yes, by using the plan_resources capability. The agent will generate a query plan (AST) that describes the conditions under which a user is allowed to access resources, which you can then apply to your database queries.
