Usage

We recommend running the server using UVX:

uvx openfga-mcp@latest

Installing via Smithery

To install OpenFGA MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @evansims/openfga-mcp --client claude

Configuration

The server accepts the following arguments:

--openfga_url: URL of your OpenFGA server
--openfga_store: ID of the OpenFGA store the MCP server will use
--openfga_model: ID of the OpenFGA authorization model the MCP server will use

For API token authentication:

--openfga_token: API token for use with your OpenFGA server

For Client Credentials authentication:

--openfga_client_id: Client ID for use with your OpenFGA server
--openfga_client_secret: Client secret for use with your OpenFGA server
--openfga_api_issuer: API issuer for use with your OpenFGA server
--openfga_api_audience: API audience for use with your OpenFGA server

For example:

uvx openfga-mcp@latest 
  --openfga_url="http://127.0.0.1:8080" 
  --openfga_store="your-store-id" 
  --openfga_model="your-model-id"

Using with Claude Desktop

To configure Claude to use the server, add the following to your Claude config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openfga-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["openfga-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

You may need to specify the full path to your uvx executable. Use which uvx to find it.
You must restart Claude after updating the configuration.
