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

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"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.
