Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Saves a declared investment strategy so any agent can check a portfolio against it.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kova": {
      "url": "https://kovatools.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "kova": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://kovatools.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3
https://kovatools.com/mcp

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Compared with others in Otheri

  • More stars than 0% of the other 32505 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 62% of the other 32505 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 32505 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is Kova safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.10.1) reached the registry 24 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Give every agent the same investment strategy.

Kova is the strategy layer for agentic investors. It gives compatible AI agents a persistent investment strategy, a shared way to check portfolio alignment, and a clear approval boundary before Kova saves a strategy or creates a brief.

Explore Kova · Install the Agent Plugin

From strategy to brief

Strategy → approval → portfolio → brief

  1. Turn your goals, constraints, and investing principles into a durable strategy.
  2. Review the exact strategy and approve it before Kova saves anything.
  3. Connect a portfolio, then ask an agent to check it against the same strategy.
  4. Approve the portfolio check and receive a strategic brief with alignment, tensions, and next questions.

What the plugin adds

  • Create or refine a strategy. Shape a personal investment strategy in conversation, with a complete preview before it is saved.
  • Check portfolio alignment. Use the strategy as the stable reference point for a portfolio review and strategic brief.

The plugin packages Kova's strategy workflows and secure MCP connection for clients that support Agent Plugins v1. It connects to Kova's hosted service, so there is no local server to build and no API key to place in a file.

Trust and approval boundaries

Kova asks for explicit approval before it saves a strategy, records portfolio assets or liabilities, or creates a brief. It does not execute trades, make market predictions, or choose securities for you.

Authentication happens through Kova's OAuth flow. The plugin contains no credentials, authorization headers, tokens, or client-specific OAuth configuration. Strategy text, holdings, and account data stay out of the plugin package.

The published Kova app in ChatGPT is a separate distribution channel. Installing that app does not install this Agent Plugin, and installing this Agent Plugin does not add the ChatGPT app.

Install

The directory containing plugin.json is the plugin root. Install the repository root, not its skills/ directory.

Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add kovatools/kova-agent-plugin

claude plugin install kova@kova

Run /mcp once to sign in to Kova. To try it without installing, start a session with claude --plugin-dir /absolute/path/to/kova-agent-plugin.

Gemini CLI
gemini extensions install https://github.com/kovatools/kova-agent-plugin

The extension connects to https://kovatools.com/mcp and signs in through Kova's OAuth flow on first use.

VS Code: install directly from Git

VS Code can clone and install a plugin from its repository URL:

  1. Make sure Agent Plugins are enabled with the chat.plugins.enabled setting.
  2. Open the Command Palette and run Chat: Install Plugin From Source.
  3. Enter https://github.com/kovatools/kova-agent-plugin.
  4. Review the source trust prompt, install the plugin, and start a new chat.

To update, run Extensions: Check for Extension Updates. VS Code also checks automatically when extension auto-update is enabled. To uninstall, find Kova under Agent Plugins - Installed, open its context menu, and select Uninstall.

For a local clone instead, register the plugin root in VS Code settings:

{

"chat.pluginLocations": { "/absolute/path/to/kova-agent-plugin": true } }

See Agent plugins in VS Code for the current UI and settings.

Cursor: clone or symlink locally

Cursor loads local plugins from ~/.cursor/plugins/local:

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local

git clone https://github.com/kovatools/kova-agent-plugin.git ~/.cursor/plugins/local/kova

Restart Cursor or run Developer: Reload Window. For development, you can clone elsewhere and symlink the repository root instead:

ln -s /absolute/path/to/kova-agent-plugin ~/.cursor/plugins/local/kova

To update a cloned copy, run git -C ~/.cursor/plugins/local/kova pull --ff-only, then reload Cursor. To uninstall, remove only the kova clone or symlink from ~/.cursor/plugins/local, then reload Cursor. See Cursor Plugins for the current local-plugin flow.

Other compatible clients

Clone a release, then copy or symlink the repository root into the directory your client scans for plugins:

git clone --branch v0.1.1 --depth 1 https://github.com/kovatools/kova-agent-plugin.git

If Git is unavailable, download the v0.1.1 source archive from GitHub, extract it, and register the extracted repository root as a local plugin directory.

Registration, update, and uninstall behavior belongs to the client because Agent Plugins v1 defines the package format, not a universal installer. Consult the compatible clients list and your client's documentation. To update a clone tracking main, use git pull --ff-only; for an immutable release, replace the clone with a newer SemVer tag. To uninstall, unregister the plugin root and remove only that local clone or symlink.

Authenticate

The first time a client connects to https://kovatools.com/mcp, it should open Kova's OAuth authorization flow:

  1. Sign in to your Kova account in the browser window.
  2. Review the client name and requested access.
  3. Select Allow access.
  4. Return to the client and retry the request if it does not refresh automatically.

Kova uses OAuth with PKCE. Local clients may use an exact http://localhost, http://127.0.0.1, or http://[::1] callback. Cursor may also use its exact native callback, cursor://anysphere.cursor-mcp/oauth/callback; every other callback must use HTTPS. An active Kova subscription is required for MCP access.

To revoke a connection, remove its Kova API token from your account. Uninstalling the plugin does not revoke an already issued token.

Releases and support

Use immutable GitHub Releases for repeatable installs and version-specific compatibility notes. To report an installation problem, client compatibility issue, or workflow bug, open an issue.
