MCP

Better Auth provides an MCP server so you can use it with any AI model that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

CLI Options

Use the Better Auth CLI to easily add the MCP server to your preferred client:

npx @better-auth/cli mcp --cursor

npx @better-auth/cli mcp --claude-code

npx @better-auth/cli mcp --open-code

npx @better-auth/cli mcp --manual

Manual Configuration

Alternatively, you can manually configure the MCP server for each client:

claude mcp add --transport http better-auth https://mcp.inkeep.com/better-auth/mcp

  {
      "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
      "mcp": {
          "better-auth": {
              "type": "remote",
              "url": "https://mcp.inkeep.com/better-auth/mcp",
              "enabled": true,
          }
      }
  }

{
   "better-auth": {
       "url": "https://mcp.inkeep.com/better-auth/mcp"
   }
}
