You’ll find those updates, plus customer and community highlights, below. Let customers configure their own SSO connections Customers' IT admins can now configure SAML connections from a new Security tab in , without access to the Clerk Dashboard. They can verify domains, configure a supported identity provider, test the connection, and activate it from your application. Self-serve SSO is available for applications using Clerk Organizations and can be enabled per Organization. Read more → Adjust account credits in Clerk Billing Add or remove credits for Users and Organizations from the Clerk Dashboard or Backend API without changing their subscription pricing. Clerk applies the available balance to future charges and carries any remainder forward to later recurring invoices. Each adjustment appears in a ledger, giving you a history of credits added to or removed from the account. Read more → Connect your AI tools to Clerk MCP with one command Run clerk mcp install to detect supported AI clients and register Clerk MCP in any client you choose. The command supports 10 clients, including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot in VS Code, and Codex, without requiring you to edit each client's config file. Registrations are available across your projects, and the CLI includes commands to list, check, and remove them. Read more → Test webhooks and impersonate users from the Clerk CLI Clerk CLI 2.0 adds a local toolkit for listening to webhook deliveries, verifying signatures offline, and generating relay tokens. The new clerk impersonate command creates a short-lived sign-in URL for a specific user, so you can reproduce a report from their session. Each impersonation is attributed to your account for auditing, and both workflows run from the terminal.

Attendees learned about Clerk, met other builders, and strengthened their local developer communities. We loved seeing organizers create spaces where developers could connect, share what they’re building, and grow their communities together.
