Package Exports

@nestr/mcp
@nestr/mcp/build/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@nestr/mcp) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

@nestr/mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Nestr - connect AI assistants like Claude to your workspace.

What is this?

This MCP server allows AI assistants to interact with your Nestr workspace:

Search for tasks, projects, and roles
Create and update nests
View organizational structure (circles, roles, accountabilities)
Get workspace insights and metrics
Add comments and collaborate

Quick Start

Visit mcp.nestr.io for the easiest setup with step-by-step instructions for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor.

Claude Desktop

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
Set Name to Nestr and Remote MCP URL to https://mcp.nestr.io/mcp
Click "Add" then "Authenticate" to log in with Nestr

Claude Code

claude mcp add nestr --transport http https://mcp.nestr.io/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and click "Authenticate" to log in.

Using the npm Package (Local)

If you prefer to run the MCP server locally:

npx @nestr/mcp

Configure your AI client with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nestr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@nestr/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NESTR_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

To get an API key:

Go to your Nestr workspace
Click Settings → Integrations → Workspace API access → Configure
Click "New API key" and copy it

Start Using It

Ask your AI assistant things like:

"What workspaces do I have access to?"
"Search for tasks related to marketing"
"Create a new project called 'Q1 Planning'"
"What are my current projects and their status?"
"Who is responsible for customer support?"

MCP Apps (Interactive UI)

MCP Apps are interactive UI components that can be embedded in MCP clients that support them (like Claude.ai). They provide rich, visual interfaces for working with Nestr data.

Completable List

Resource URI: ui://nestr/completable-list

An interactive list for viewing and completing tasks and projects.

Features:

Projects show a box icon, todos show a checkbox
Check items to mark them complete (strikethrough)
Inline editing of titles (auto-saves)
Drag-and-drop reordering
Shows parent path for context
Quick link to open item in Nestr

Usage: When an AI assistant returns task or project results, supporting clients can render this interactive UI instead of plain text, allowing you to complete items, edit titles, and reorder directly in the chat.

Authentication

OAuth (Recommended)

The hosted service at mcp.nestr.io handles OAuth automatically. Just add the server and authenticate through your browser.

OAuth respects user-specific permissions - the AI assistant can only access what the authenticated user can access.

API Key

API keys provide full workspace access and work with the local npm package. See Quick Start above.

Note: API keys have full workspace access regardless of user permissions.

Environment Variables

Authentication (Required)

Variable	Description
`NESTR_API_KEY`	Nestr API key (full workspace access)
`NESTR_OAUTH_TOKEN`	OAuth token (respects user permissions)

* Either NESTR_API_KEY or NESTR_OAUTH_TOKEN is required for local usage.

Configuration (Optional)

Variable	Description	Default
`NESTR_API_BASE`	API base URL	`https://app.nestr.io/api`

Hosting/Server (HTTP transport only)

These are used when running the HTTP server for hosted deployments:

Variable	Description	Default
`PORT`	HTTP server port	`3000`
`NESTR_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`	OAuth client ID for hosted OAuth flow	-
`NESTR_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET`	OAuth client secret	-
`OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY`	32-byte base64 key for encrypting OAuth sessions at rest	-
`GTM_ID`	Google Tag Manager container ID for landing page	-

Analytics (Optional)

Server-side analytics options:

GA4 Measurement Protocol:

Variable	Description
`GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID`	GA4 Measurement ID (e.g., `G-XXXXXXXXXX`)
`GA4_API_SECRET`	Measurement Protocol API secret
`GA4_DEBUG`	Set to `true` to validate events without recording

Note: Both GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID and GA4_API_SECRET are required for GA4 tracking. If only the measurement ID is set, a warning is logged and tracking is disabled.

MCPcat (MCP-specific analytics):

Variable	Description
`MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID`	MCPcat project ID (from mcpcat.io)
`MCPCAT_ENABLE_REPLAY`	Enable session replay (default: `false`)

Development

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/nestr-dev/nestr-mcp.git
cd nestr-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Set your API key
export NESTR_API_KEY=your-api-key

# Run in development mode (stdio)
npm run dev

# Run HTTP server for local testing
npm run dev:http

# Build for production
npm run build

# Test with MCP Inspector
npm run inspect

Security

Never commit your API key or OAuth token to version control
OAuth tokens respect user permissions and are recommended
API keys provide full workspace access - use OAuth for granular permissions
Rotate credentials if you suspect they've been compromised
