# Okta MCP server

Yes. Okta publishes an official MCP server that you install from the PyPI package okta-mcp-server. It runs on your own computer and needs an OAuth app that you set up in Okta first. We last checked it on 1 Oct 2026. MartechDB lists only servers the vendor publishes itself, never community servers.

## Questions

### Does Okta have an official MCP server?

Yes. Okta publishes its MCP server itself. Okta's own documentation describes it. MartechDB only lists servers a vendor publishes, never community copies.

### Is there a hosted Okta MCP server?

No. Okta's MCP server runs on your own computer, from the PyPI package okta-mcp-server. Your AI client starts it for you once it is set up.

### Does the Okta MCP server need an API key?

No, but it needs set-up first: it signs in with OAuth through an app you (or an admin) create in your Okta account.

### How do I connect Okta MCP to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

In Cursor, use the Add to Cursor link on MartechDB's page, or paste the JSON settings into your mcp.json. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add okta -- uvx okta-mcp-server

No. Okta hasn't published it to the official MCP Registry.
