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.

Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Chat & email
You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

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

Before you install

Basic checks: 2 of 3 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http norc https://mcp.norc.app/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "norc": {
      "url": "https://mcp.norc.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "norc": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.norc.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

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

Values you fill in

Authorization secret required HTTP header
Bearer token with your norc API key (vault.norc.app, Settings, API Keys)

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

What it can do

The server asks you to sign in before it lists its tools.

Common questions

Is norc safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 (0.3.2) reached the registry 5 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?

In the same category: Vexa, emailmd, MCP WhatsApp Cloud

norc-mcp

MCP server for connecting AI platforms (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to your norc account — manage cron jobs, machines, and run history from a chat.

Setup

Generate a norc API key: vault → Settings → API Keys → Generate key.
Install it for your client (below). Hosted option: point a client that supports remote servers at https://mcp.norc.app/mcp with your key as the Bearer token (exact field depends on the client).

Install

Claude Desktop

Install Node.js 20 or newer (Claude Desktop runs the server with npx).
Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. This opens claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Microsoft Store install: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Claude_pzs8sxrjxfjjc\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json)

Add norc under mcpServers (keep any servers already there) and use your own key (vault → Settings → API Keys):

"mcpServers": { "norc": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "norc-mcp"], "env": { "NORC_API_KEY": "norc_sk_..." } } } }

   On Windows, `npx` is a `.cmd` script and may fail to launch directly; use `cmd` instead:

   "command": "cmd",

"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "norc-mcp"]

4. Quit Claude Desktop completely and reopen it. Closing the window is not enough. norc's tools then appear in the tools menu.

Claude Code

Install the norc plugin, which adds slash commands and starts this server for you, or add it directly:

claude mcp add norc --env NORC_API_KEY=norc_sk_... -- npx -y norc-mcp

Other local MCP clients (Cursor, etc.)

Use the same command / args / env block as the Claude Desktop config above. Without NORC_API_KEY (or --stdio) the server starts in HTTP mode instead, and a missing or malformed key in stdio mode exits with an error.

Hosted (remote clients)

For clients that only support remote servers, use https://mcp.norc.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP, POST) with the header Authorization: Bearer norc_sk_.... It is the same code as this repo, deployed on Vercel; your key is forwarded to vault.norc.app and not stored.

Tools

list_jobs, create_job, update_job, delete_job
list_machines, rename_machine, delete_machine
list_runs
sync_jobs — declarative sync of your full job set (like norc gitops). Dry run by default; jobs not listed are deleted when apply is true. Needs the gitops sync feature enabled on your account.

Self-hosting (HTTP)

This server is a thin, stateless client — it holds no secrets and no database access of its own. It only forwards your API key to vault.norc.app (or $NORC_VAULT_URL). Run your own instance if you'd like:

pnpm install

pnpm build PORT=3000 node dist/server.js

Note: self-hosting this server does not mean self-hosting norc itself — it still talks to the hosted norc API.

Run via Docker

docker run -p 3000:3000 norcapp/norc-mcp

Set NORC_VAULT_URL if you're pointing at a non-default vault instance:

docker run -p 3000:3000 -e NORC_VAULT_URL=https://vault.norc.app norcapp/norc-mcp
