WorkOS MCP Server

Manage your WorkOS workspace with AI agents. The WorkOS MCP server is a remote Model Context Protocol server. Any MCP client can use it to manage organizations, users, SSO connections, directories, branding, and more, by calling the WorkOS API on your behalf.

• Server URL: https://mcp.workos.com/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• Auth: OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration (WorkOS Connect). No API keys to paste.
• Docs: https://workos.com/docs/mcp

This folder holds the registry metadata (server.json) for the server. The server runs as a hosted service at WorkOS. Its source is not published here. The rest of this repository holds WorkOS skills for AI coding agents.

The server acts as you. It inherits your WorkOS dashboard role and can only do what your account can do.

Connect a client

The first time you connect, your client opens a WorkOS consent screen. Sign in and approve access. After that the agent is connected as your account.

WorkOS CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor)

workos mcp install

The CLI detects installed clients. Use --agent claude-code, --agent codex, or --agent cursor to target one. workos mcp status shows what is installed and signed in.

GitHub Copilot / VS Code

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json:

{  "servers": {    "workos": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://mcp.workos.com/mcp"    }  }}

Start the server from the mcp.json editor, or run MCP: List Servers from the Command Palette.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http workos https://mcp.workos.com/mcp

Use /mcp inside Claude Code to check status or sign in again.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project):

{  "mcpServers": {    "workos": { "url": "https://mcp.workos.com/mcp" }  }}

Open Settings → MCP and click Login next to WorkOS.

Codex CLI

codex mcp add workos --url https://mcp.workos.com/mcpcodex mcp login workos

Claude Desktop, ChatGPT

Open Settings → Connectors, click Add custom connector, name it WorkOS, and enter https://mcp.workos.com/mcp.

Other clients

Add a remote MCP server with the URL https://mcp.workos.com/mcp. Setup steps for Antigravity, Factory, Goose, OpenCode, Windsurf, and Zed are in the docs.

Tools

Operations cover organizations, users, SSO connections, Directory Sync, AuthKit branding, webhooks, feature flags, and more.

Example prompts

• "Set up a new organization for Acme Corp and invite everyone in acme_employees.csv."
• "Help me understand why org_123 is having trouble signing in with SSO."
• "Invite [email protected] to org_123 as an admin."
• "List every organization with a draft SSO connection, and flag any directories that haven't synced in 24 hours."
• "Here's a screenshot of our marketing site. Make our AuthKit sign-in page match it."
• "Set up a Datadog audit log stream for our production environment."

Permissions and safety

• Role inheritance. The agent runs every operation through the same access controls as the dashboard. A read-only role cannot make changes.
• Environment scope. The agent works in one environment at a time. It defaults to a sandbox environment and only touches production when you say so.
• Destructive confirmation. Irreversible operations, such as deleting an organization, connection, or directory, return a description of what will be destroyed and require an explicit confirmation step before they run.
• Secrets. API keys, client secrets, and similar values are stripped from responses before they reach the agent.
• Admin controls. Team admins can disable MCP access, block production access, or make MCP read-only for the whole team from the team authentication settings.

Limitations

• No user impersonation.
• The most sensitive dashboard actions are not exposed: changing MCP access settings, minting or rotating credentials, and deleting your WorkOS team.
• One team at a time. The agent is scoped to the team you authenticate with.
