Works with AI assistants
Use Clerk: its Clerk Com Sessions API lets you mint a backend session JWT from a template in a single step (POST /sessions/{session_id}/tokens/{template_name}). Clerk also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.
- How do I create a JWT for a session using one of my instance's JWT templates on the server?
- Can a template-based token from the backend have its own expiry in seconds?
Say it to your AI assistant
- Create a JWT for session {session_id} using template {template_name} from the backend.
- Issue a {template_name} template token for session {session_id} valid for {expires_in_seconds} seconds.
