Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Persistent cloud workspaces for AI agents: run commands, edit files, use git and a browser.

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.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Web & browsers
  • You need to fill in: SHARDFLUX_API_KEY

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: SHARDFLUX_API_KEY, SHARDFLUX_API_URL, SHARDFLUX_WORKSPACE_KEY, SHARDFLUX_TEMPLATE, SHARDFLUX_MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT_MS, SHARDFLUX_WAKE, SHARDFLUX_WAKE_TIMEOUT_MS, SHARDFLUX_AGENT_LABEL, SHARDFLUX_MCP_LOG_LEVEL, SHARDFLUX_HTTP_KEEPALIVE, SHARDFLUX_PREWAKE

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

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

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

Values you fill in

  • SHARDFLUX_API_KEY secret required env
    Scoped Shardflux project API key (sfk_ _ ). Its tool permissions decide which workspace tools are listed.
  • SHARDFLUX_API_URL env
    API base URL. Plain http:// is allowed only for loopback hosts.
  • SHARDFLUX_WORKSPACE_KEY env
    Pin one workspace: workspace_key becomes optional on every tool and any other key is refused (workspace_pinned).
  • SHARDFLUX_TEMPLATE env
    Default template slug for workspace_open.
  • SHARDFLUX_MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT_MS env
    Default and maximum deadline per tool call in milliseconds (1000-3600000). A call's timeout_ms can only shorten it.
  • SHARDFLUX_WAKE env
    on: workspace tools resume a suspended workspace and then run. off: they return the workspace_not_running refusal.
  • SHARDFLUX_WAKE_TIMEOUT_MS env
    Longest wait per tool call for a workspace to wake or finish a transition, in milliseconds (1000-3600000; clamped to SHARDFLUX_MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT_MS).
  • SHARDFLUX_AGENT_LABEL env
    Attribution label of every tool token this server obtains (shown as an agent session).
  • SHARDFLUX_MCP_LOG_LEVEL env
    Log level of the JSON log lines on stderr (stdout carries the protocol).
  • SHARDFLUX_HTTP_KEEPALIVE env
    Unset: private HTTP/1.1 pooling on Node 26, native fetch elsewhere. 0: force connection closure for diagnosis. 1: select native pooling.
  • SHARDFLUX_PREWAKE env
    Offer explicit workspace_hint for tool input streaming (on or off).

Common questions

Is Shardflux safe?

It passed 0 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?

You need to fill in: SHARDFLUX_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.12.2) reached the registry 30 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: Browser Use, Chrome DevTools MCP, MCP Server Browser
