# Reported issues for Auth0 MCP Server Pod holds 15 of 15 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user. Back to [Auth0 MCP Server](/mcp/auth0-mcp-server). ## Most discussed ### Refresh token never used: getValidAccessToken and run.js return null on expiry instead of calling refreshAccessToken() ## Summary `@auth0/auth0-mcp-server@0.1.0-beta.9` stores a refresh token in the OS keychain (correctly, when `offline_access` is in scope), implements `refreshAccessToken()` correctly, but **never calls it from the expiry-check paths**. As a result, every expired access token forces the user to re-run `init` (interactive device-code browser flow), even though a valid refresh token is sitting in the keychain ready to use. This makes the server effectively unusable for unattended operation — acc [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/166) · 2026-05-19 · open · external user · 6 comments ### Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/keytar.node' ### Checklist - [x] I have looked into the [Readme](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server#readme), [Examples](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md), and [FAQ](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/FAQ.md) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have looked into the [API documentation](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-mcp-server/) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have searched the [issues](https://github.com [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/118) · 2026-03-18 · closed · external user · 4 comments ### MCP - VS Code for Windows ### Checklist - [x] I have looked into the [Readme](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server#readme), [Examples](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md), and [FAQ](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/FAQ.md) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have looked into the [API documentation](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-mcp-server/) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have searched the [issues](https://github.com [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/69) · 2025-09-11 · open · external user · 2 comments ### Silent for MCP start with init ### Checklist - [x] I have looked into the [Readme](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server#readme), [Examples](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md), and [FAQ](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/FAQ.md) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have looked into the [API documentation](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-mcp-server/) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have searched the [issues](https://github.com [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/57) · 2025-08-21 · closed · external user · 2 comments ### AS vs RS ?

That is not the same as the bound set: an action can support `post-login` and not be bound to it, and the response carries no ordering. Execution order is usually the thing you need when re [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/205) · 2026-08-15 · open · external user · 0 comments ### Feature request: Named tenant profiles for managing multiple Auth0 tenants ### Checklist - [x] I have looked into the Readme, Examples, and FAQ and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have looked into the API documentation and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have searched the issues and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have searched the Auth0 Community forums and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I agree to the terms within the Auth0 Code of Conduct. ### Describe the problem you'd like to h [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/167) · 2026-05-19 · open · external user · 1 comment ### Stdio server emits notifications/message before initialize ### Summary `@auth0/auth0-mcp-server` writes a JSON-RPC `notifications/message` to stdout immediately on startup, before the MCP client sends `initialize`. This breaks strict stdio MCP clients that expect the first server response during startup to be the `initialize` response. ### Reproduction ```bash timeout 5s npx -y @auth0/auth0-mcp-server@0.1.0-beta.12 run >/tmp/auth0-mcp-stdout.txt 2>/tmp/auth0-mcp-stderr.txt cat /tmp/auth0-mcp-stdout.txt cat /tmp/auth0-mcp-stderr.txt ``` ### Actual s [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/161) · 2026-05-07 · closed · outside contributor · 1 comment ### `init --scopes offline_access,...` fails because `offline_access` is treated as invalid ## Summary `offline_access` cannot be requested during `init` because scope validation rejects it as invalid, even though it is needed to obtain a refresh token in device flow. ## Repro ```bash npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --scopes "offline_access,read:*" ``` ## Actual CLI exits with: ```text Error: The following scopes are not valid: offline_access Valid scopes are: read:clients, create:clients, update:clients, ... ``` ## Expected `offline_access` should be accepted as a valid scope and [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/90) · 2026-02-11 · open · external user · 0 comments ### Add Claude Code Plugin / Marketplace ### Checklist - [x] I have looked into the [Readme](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server#readme), [Examples](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md), and [FAQ](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/FAQ.md) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have looked into the [API documentation](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-mcp-server/) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have searched the [issues](https://github.com [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/71) · 2025-10-11 · open · external user · 0 comments ### During setup, accessed is granted to my Auth0 'default' tenant instead of the one last opened in the browser ### Checklist - [x] I have looked into the [Readme](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server#readme), [Examples](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md), and [FAQ](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/FAQ.md) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have looked into the [API documentation](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-mcp-server/) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have searched the [issues](https://github.com [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/54) · 2025-07-19 · closed · external user · 1 comment ### NPX Init Failure - from source and simply running npx ### Checklist - [x] I have looked into the [Readme](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server#readme), [Examples](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md), and [FAQ](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/blob/master/FAQ.md) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have looked into the [API documentation](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-mcp-server/) and have not found a suitable solution or answer. - [x] I have searched the [issues](https://github.com [Read the thread](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues/16) · 2025-04-16 · closed · external user · 1 comment The remaining reports are on [the project's issue tracker](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-mcp-server/issues).
