Clerk is a hosted auth platform. This provider manages the configuration of a Clerk instance through the Clerk Backend API: JWT templates, redirect URLs, sign-up restrictions, API keys, machines, domains, webhooks, organizations, and SSO.
Both providers here share the same skeleton: the Terraform plugin framework, a thin API client, and acceptance tests that run against the real service in CI.
Usage
terraform {
required_providers {
clerk = {
source = "vanillauys/clerk"
version = "~> 0.7"
}
}
}
provider "clerk" {
# secret_key falls back to the CLERK_SECRET_KEY environment variable
secret_key = var.clerk_secret_key
}
One provider block targets one Clerk instance. Use a provider alias for a second instance, for example dev and prod.

For agents
- Install from the Terraform registry: source
vanillauys/clerk. The provider is pre-1.0; pin an exact version if you need stability. - Authenticate with the instance secret key (
sk_test_...orsk_live_...) insecret_key, or set theCLERK_SECRET_KEYenvironment variable. - Read the reference at
https://wihan.dev/docs/clerk. Append.mdto any docs URL for raw markdown, for examplehttps://wihan.dev/docs/clerk/resources/webhook.md. - Read the guides first: getting started, dev and prod instances, adopting an existing instance, and secrets.
- Known traps: the instance-level singletons adopt on create and never delete the instance; some fields are write-only, so the provider cannot see dashboard drift on them; the state file holds secrets.
