### Example Interactions with Claude

Here are some natural ways to interact with the server through Claude:

1. Find a user by name
```
Is there a user named "Joe" in my okta org?
```

2. Assign a user to an application
```
assign the user the.best.dev@okta.com to the Slack application
```


### Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "okta": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@yiyang.1i/okta-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OKTA_DOMAIN": "your-domain.okta.com",
        "API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Troubleshooting

If you encounter permission errors, verify that:
1. Your API token is valid
2. The API token has sufficient permissions for the operations you're trying to perform
3. The Okta domain is correctly specified
