How do I authenticate with the server?
Users authenticate by obtaining a JWT token from their Keycloak instance (using the provided `get-mcp-token.sh` script) and passing it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of SSE requests.

Overview
What is Keycloak MCP Server?
Keycloak MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides programmatic access to Keycloak administration functionality. It enables AI assistants and development tools to interact with Keycloak through the MCP protocol.
How to use Keycloak MCP Server?
Run the server via Docker with environment variables for Keycloak URL, realm, and OIDC client ID. Users authenticate with their own JWT tokens obtained from Keycloak, then configure their MCP client (e.g., in ~/.cursor/mcp.json) with SSE transport and an Authorization header containing the token.

Frequently asked questions
What runtime does Keycloak MCP Server require?
The server is built on Quarkus and can run as a JAR, native image, or container. Docker is the recommended deployment method, with pre-built images available on Quay.io.
How is data stored and where does it live?
Keycloak MCP Server does not store data itself—it communicates with an external Keycloak server whose URL is provided via the `KC_URL` environment variable. All user, realm, and client data resides in that Keycloak instance.
What transport and authentication mechanisms are supported?
The server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport for MCP communication. Authentication is handled via user-specific JWT tokens issued by Keycloak.
Are there any known limitations or alternatives mentioned?
No limitations or alternative servers are discussed in the README. The server focuses on providing comprehensive Keycloak administration via MCP.
