SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you browse Clerk’s Backend REST API and execute authenticated requests to manage users and organizations without guessing endpoints, payloads, or authentication steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Browse endpoints by tag: Quickly list which endpoints exist for a given area (e.g., Users or Organizations) before you run anything.
  • Inspect endpoint schemas on demand: Use help/detail mode to view request and response structures so you can craft correct calls.
  • Execute requests with safety guardrails: Enforces mandatory checks for secret key presence, scope requirements for write/delete operations, and irreversible delete confirmations.
  • Common workflows: Listing users (with date filters), creating organizations, inviting members, and updating user metadata (plan/onboarding) with correct metadata-type guidance.

Quick Start

Ask: /clerk-backend-api GET /users and return the parsed JSON response of all users.
