What problem does it solve?
Provides a safe, discoverable, and executable interface for interacting with the Clerk Backend REST API so operators and automation agents can list users, manage organizations, update metadata, and perform other admin tasks without manually inspecting OpenAPI specs or writing ad-hoc curl commands.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Browse available API tags and endpoints using spec-extraction scripts to identify paths, methods, and schemas.
- Fast-path templates for common operations (list users, create organization, invite member, update metadata, delete user) that produce ready-to-run curl or SDK examples.
- Strong safety checks for write operations: verifies CLERK_SECRET_KEY presence, inspects CLERK_BAPI_SCOPES, requires explicit confirmation for irreversible DELETE actions, and explains metadata types before updates.
- Execution helpers that parse JSON responses, extract key fields, handle pagination, and recommend when to use --admin bypass for scope limits.
- Use case: operations staff or automation pipelines that need to bulk-audit users, invite org members, or programmatically reconcile user metadata while preserving auditability.
Quick Start
Use the clerk-backend-api skill to list users created in the last 7 days and return a parsed summary while ensuring CLERK_SECRET_KEY and required scopes are available.
