Descope for Claude
Manage Descope users, tenants, roles and auth journeys
Overview
What Descope for Claude does
Descope handles authentication for customer applications and for MCP servers. The connector reaches its Management SDK to work with roles, tenants, users and the rest of the identity configuration, and to create or modify journeys covering signup, login, MFA, SSO and federation. The listing also points it at agent infrastructure: adding auth, consent, access control and credential management to an MCP server or agent under construction. Twenty-three tools are claimed, and a Descope project with credentials is required.
Tool surface
Twenty-three tools are published for what is a management API, and the endpoint returns 401, which is the right behaviour for a server holding identity configuration.
Availability
Where Descope for Claude is listed
Descope for Claude is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Descope has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Descope for Claude publishes 23 tools to Claude, deeper than 74% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Developer Tools publishes 13, so this one runs 10 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 29th of 95 by tool count.
It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory.
Descope for Claude publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
