From the repository

Install the server via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @descope-sample-apps/descope-mcp-server --client claude) or manually by cloning the repository, installing dependencies (npm install), and building (npm run build). Configure Claude Desktop by editing its config file (claude_desktop_config.json) to add the Descope server with your Descope Project ID and Management Key as environment variables, then restart Claude Desktop. The server can run on stdio (npm run start:stdio) or SSE (npm run start:sse).

Descope MCP Server

Introduction

The Descope Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides an interface to interact with Descope's Management APIs, enabling the search and retrieval of project-related information.

Available Tools

- search-audits: Retrieves up to 10 audit log entries from your Descope project.
- search-users: Retrieves up to 10 user records from your Descope project.
- create-user: Creates a new user in your Descope project.
- invite-user: Invites a new user to your Descope project.

Requirements

Before proceeding, make sure you have the following:

- Node.js (version 18 or later)
- Claude Desktop installed on your system
- A valid Descope Project ID and Management Key
- Git installed

To confirm your Node.js installation, run:

node --version  # Expected output: v18.0.0 or later

Setup Instructions

Installing via Smithery

To install Descope MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @descope-sample-apps/descope-mcp-server --client claude

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/descope-sample-apps/descope-mcp-server.git
    cd descope-mcp-server

2. Install the necessary dependencies:

    npm install

3. Build the project:

    npm run build

Configuration

1. Configure Claude Desktop to recognize the Descope MCP server

To locate the claude_desktop_config.json file, open the Claude Desktop app and enable Developer Mode from the top-left menu bar.

Once enabled, go to Settings (also in the top-left menu), navigate to the Developer section, and click the Edit Config button to access and edit claude_desktop_config.json.

Alternatively, to open the configuration file via terminal:

On macOS:

code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

On Windows:

code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the Descope server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "descope": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/descope-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID": "your-descope-project-id-here",
        "DESCOPE_MANAGEMENT_KEY": "your-descope-management-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace your-descope-project-id-here and your-descope-management-key-here with your actual Descope Project ID and Management Key from app.descope.com/settings/project and app.descope.com/settings/company/managementkeys.

3. Restart Claude Desktop

To apply the changes:

1. Fully quit Claude Desktop (ensure it's not just minimized).
2. Relaunch Claude Desktop.
3. Check for the 🔌 icon to confirm the Descope server is connected.

npm run build

1. Running the server on stdio

npm run start:stdio

2. Running the server on SSE

npm run start:sse
