Short answer

How can I use AI to manage OpenFGA stores?

Your AI client uses OpenFGA tools to spin up new stores for testing, list existing ones, and wipe them out when they are no longer needed. This keeps your development environments isolated and clean. You get full control over your authorization data lifecycle.

Environment outcomes

Where your changes land.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of store management so you can focus on your auth logic.

ISOLATION

New test environments

The AI creates fresh stores for specific deployment stages. You get a clean slate for every test run.

INVENTORY

Store visibility

Your agent pulls a list of all active stores. You can quickly see what's running in your environment.

CLEANUP

Automated teardowns

The AI deletes old or temporary stores once a task is finished. This prevents stale data from cluttering your setup.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide when to trigger a full cleanup or a new deployment. The AI follows your specific instructions for each stage.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The AI translates your intent into direct OpenFGA actions.

  1. Provisioning

    The AI sets up a new, isolated store for your current task or deployment stage.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete all my stores at once?

    No. The AI can only delete specific stores that you identify by name or ID.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my authorization models?

    No. This MCP only manages the stores themselves, not the internal model definitions or tuples.

  • 03

    How do I know if the connection is working?

    You can ask the AI to run a health check to verify the service is reachable.

  • 04

    Can the AI see my data inside the stores?

    No. The tools provided only allow for store management, such as creating, listing, and deleting the stores.

  • 05

    Does the AI handle the actual auth logic?

    No. The AI manages the infrastructure of the stores, but you still manage the logic within your application.
