Live endpoint: https://nivoda.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://nivoda.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http nivoda https://nivoda.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nivoda": {
"url": "https://nivoda.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Nivoda credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/nivoda/
On first connect you provide your Nivoda username and Nivoda password for a verified Nivoda account. The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
