Admin Auditing MCP Server

Opal’s admin auditing MCP provides a set of tools that enables admins to use AI agents to view Opal events and syncs to investigate access and audit changes. Use cases include:

Investigate historical access patterns and anomalous access
Audit changes in organizational structure or role assignments
Review sync errors and propagation status
Monitor access requests and approvals
Track user access reviews and compliance activities

Installation

First, create an API Token in your Opal environment. Then, select a method and follow the instructions below.

Self-hosted Opal deployments can host MCP servers as of version v1.1135.0. If you run self-hosted, remember to replace https://app.opal.dev with your own domain.

To install, run the following command in your shell:

claude mcp add --transport http opal-admin-auditing https://app.opal.dev/mcp/admin-auditing --header "Authorization: Bearer ${OPAL_API_TOKEN}" 

Then authenticate with Opal.

claude /mcp

To install, add the following to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opal-end-user": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://app.opal.dev/mcp/admin-auditing",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:OPAL_API_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
