Keycloak MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides programmatic access to Keycloak administration functionality.

Overview

The Keycloak MCP Server enables AI assistants and development tools to interact with Keycloak through the Model Context Protocol. It supports comprehensive Keycloak operations including user management, realm configuration, client administration, and authentication flow management.

Key Features

• User JWT Token Authentication
• Comprehensive Keycloak Operations (users, realms, clients, roles, groups, etc.)
• SSE Transport for HTTP-based communication
• Production-ready OpenShift/Kubernetes deployment
• Multi-architecture container images
• GraalVM native image support

Quick Start

Using Docker

docker run -d \
  --name keycloak-mcp-server \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -e KC_URL=https://keycloak.example.com \
  -e KC_REALM=master \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_ID=mcp-server \
  quay.io/sshaaf/keycloak-mcp-server:latest

Authentication

Users authenticate with their own JWT tokens from Keycloak:

# Get your token
./scripts/get-mcp-token.sh \
  --keycloak-url https://keycloak.example.com \
  --username your-username \
  --password your-password

Configure in your MCP client (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "keycloak": {
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp-server.example.com/mcp/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-jwt-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}
