SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires node, curl, python3, bash.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you discover Clerk Backend API endpoints and safely execute authenticated requests to manage users and organizations without guessing paths, schemas, or payload formats.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tag browsing: List available API tags and drill into endpoint sets by tag.
  • Endpoint inspection: View full endpoint definitions and referenced component schemas before running requests.
  • Authenticated execution: Execute Clerk Backend API calls with required Bearer authentication and enforced safety checks for writes and deletes.
  • Common admin workflows: List users (with date filters), create organizations, invite members, update user metadata, and perform destructive deletes with explicit confirmation.

Quick Start

Run clerk-backend-api GET /users to fetch users from Clerk, using your CLERK_SECRET_KEY for Bearer authentication.
