Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Operate self-hosted OpenClaw and Hermes agent fleets on Docker or Kubernetes from MCP clients.

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: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Developer tools
  • You need to fill in: NORA_API_URL, NORA_API_KEY

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: NORA_API_URL, NORA_API_KEY, NORA_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE

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

You need

  • 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 …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nora": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@noraai/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NORA_API_URL": "your-value",
        "NORA_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "NORA_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add nora --env NORA_API_URL=your-value --env NORA_API_KEY=your-value --env NORA_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=your-value -- npx -y @noraai/mcp-server

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": {
    "nora": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@noraai/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NORA_API_URL": "your-value",
        "NORA_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "NORA_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "nora": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@noraai/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NORA_API_URL": "your-value",
        "NORA_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "NORA_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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 one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

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

Values you fill in

  • NORA_API_URL required env
    Base URL of your Nora backend API (e.g. https://nora.example.com). Falls back to NORA_HOST, then the Nora CLI config at ~/.nora/config.json.
  • NORA_API_KEY secret required env
    Nora workspace API key (nora_…) used to authenticate against the Nora public REST API. Falls back to NORA_TOKEN, then the Nora CLI config.
  • NORA_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE env
    Set to "true" to enable destructive tools (e.g. delete_agent). Disabled by default.

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

What it can do

Common questions

Is Nora 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?

You need to fill in: NORA_API_URL, NORA_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.4) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

@noraai/mcp-server

MCP server for Nora, the self-hosted AI agent ops platform. Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client to your Nora control plane and operate your agent fleet in natural language: deploy runtimes, start/stop/restart them, tail fleet status, and pull metrics, events, and per-agent cost.

claude mcp add nora \

--env NORA_API_URL=https://nora.example.com \ --env NORA_API_KEY=nora_xxxxxxxx \ -- npx -y @noraai/mcp-server

The repository also ships a Claude Code plugin manifest under claude-plugin/. Validate and load it from a Nora checkout with:

claude plugin validate ./mcp-server/claude-plugin --strict

claude --plugin-dir ./mcp-server/claude-plugin

Or in any MCP client's JSON config:

{

"mcpServers": { "nora": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@noraai/mcp-server"], "env": { "NORA_API_URL": "https://nora.example.com", "NORA_API_KEY": "nora_xxxxxxxx" } } } }

Docker

Build the same stdio server as a non-root container:

docker build -t nora-mcp ./mcp-server

docker run --rm -i \ -e NORA_API_URL=https://nora.example.com \ -e NORA_API_KEY=nora_xxxxxxxx \ nora-mcp

MCP clients should keep stdin open and pass secrets through environment variables; the image does not persist credentials or other state.

Auth

Uses Nora workspace API keys (create one under Workspace → API Keys). Scopes apply unchanged:

  • agents:read + monitoring:read → read tools
  • agents:write → deploy/lifecycle tools

Fallbacks: NORA_HOST/NORA_TOKEN env vars, then the Nora CLI's ~/.nora/config.json — so after nora login, nora mcp (or plain npx @noraai/mcp-server) just works.

Tools

Read: list_agents, get_agent, get_agent_stats, get_agent_versions, get_platform_metrics, get_fleet_status, list_monitoring_events, get_agent_metrics, get_agent_metrics_summary, get_agent_cost.

Write: deploy_agent, start_agent, stop_agent, restart_agent, redeploy_agent — and delete_agent, which is only registered when NORA_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=true.

Tool output is the raw Nora REST JSON; the server is a pure API client and stores nothing.

Full guide: docs.norafleet.ai/guides/mcp-server

Privacy Policy

The Nora MCP connector runs locally and does not collect telemetry or persist credentials, tool inputs, or API responses. It sends each tool request and the configured API key directly to the Nora deployment identified by NORA_API_URL; no separate connector service or advertising network receives that data.

The connector retains no data after its process exits. Your Nora operator controls the storage and retention of account, agent, log, metric, and integration data in that deployment, and connected providers may apply their own policies when Nora invokes them. See the full Nora Privacy Policy or contact privacy@norafleet.ai.

Contributing

From the repository root, run npm run contributor:setup -- --scope mcp-server once, then npm run contributor:check -- mcp-server. Keep tool schemas, safety annotations, README tool lists, and mocked transport tests synchronized with the public REST endpoints.

If Nora is useful to you, a ⭐ on the GitHub repo helps other self-hosters find it.
