Summary

The FusionAuth API MCP Server is a new developer-focused tool released by Anthropic to enhance the functionality of AI coding assistants by connecting them directly to a FusionAuth instance, enabling them to perform tasks such as creating complex registration forms, exporting configurations, and running sophisticated user searches through natural language commands. This server acts as a bridge between AI assistants and the FusionAuth API by automatically generating tools from the OpenAPI specification, allowing AI assistants to handle API calls, thereby streamlining development tasks and reducing the need for constant context-switching. Designed for local development and experimentation, the MCP server is open source and released under the Apache2 license, offering a straightforward setup that involves defining API keys and base URLs, while emphasizing security through permission-controlled API keys. Although the tool is not intended for production use, it serves as a rapid prototyping aid that can accommodate over 300 APIs available in FusionAuth, and developers are encouraged to provide feedback to help shape future enhancements.
