okta-mcp-server@1.1.7

VERIFIED· not started

Publisher claims: "The Okta Open Source MCP Server integrates with LLMs and AI agents, allowing you to perform various Okta management operations using natural language and is Generally Available (GA)." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.
Tested
the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

What this means for the label: Verified here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
OKTA_PRIVATE_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: OKTA_CLIENT_ID, OKTA_KEY_ID, OKTA_LOG_FILE, OKTA_LOG_LEVEL, OKTA_ORG_URL, OKTA_SCOPES
Where it talks to
okta.com (its own)
What the honeypot saw
no credential files read · no network
What we could not test
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard. It asks for OKTA_PRIVATE_KEY and talks to okta.com. Give the credential to the guard, not the server: the value never enters the server's environment and only travels to the host you bind. What the tools do with a real credential was not observed.

$vet-skills run --secrets OKTA_PRIVATE_KEY=okta.com -- uvx okta-mcp-server

Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-13 and scored it 81/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
