Novence MCP

Hosted Model Context Protocol server for Novence — static site hosting for AI agents.

Your agent can build the site. Then in seconds, give it somewhere to ship.

20 seconds · Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any other agent · plugin to a live URL

  • Endpoint: https://api.novence.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP)
  • Auth: optional to start. Call bootstrap(email); the session adopts the nv_ key. Then Authorization: Bearer nv_… for later sessions.
  • Docs: novence.ai/mcp
  • Privacy: novence.ai/privacy

This repository is the Claude Code plugin / install package (Novence-ai/mcp). The MCP server itself is hosted; there is nothing to run locally.

The Dockerfile and catalog/ stdio adapter are only for MCP directories (Glama). They answer tools/list with public tool schemas. They do not contain the hosting API. End users should use https://api.novence.ai/mcp.

Root .mcp.json (and mcp.json for Cursor / Agent Plugins) is Cursor-safe: URL only, no Claude ${user_config.*} placeholders. After bootstrap, Cursor / shell clients persist auth with env NOVENCE_API_KEY and a Bearer header. The Claude Code plugin keeps Keychain / userConfig.api_key via .claude-plugin/plugin.json inline mcpServers.

Skill for registries: skills/novence-deploy (gh skill install Novence-ai/mcp novence-deploy when available).

Install (Claude Code)

claude plugin marketplace add Novence-ai/mcp
# or: enable from the Claude plugin directory after listing is approved

Leave Novence API key blank. Call bootstrap(email) (MCP). After the live URL, paste the nv_ key in plugin settings (Keychain) and run /reload-plugins so later sessions stay authenticated.

Claude stores the key via plugin userConfig. Empty interpolation is treated as unauthenticated (Bearer / uninterpolated ${user_config.api_key}), so bootstrap works before you fill the field.

Cursor / shell

Root .mcp.json matches this URL-only shape (no auth header). Connect with no header, then bootstrap:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "novence": {
      "url": "https://api.novence.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

After bootstrap, persist the key:

export NOVENCE_API_KEY='nv_…'
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "novence": {
      "url": "https://api.novence.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:NOVENCE_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

One-click install (no key): Add to Cursor

Generic MCP clients

Same as Cursor: URL only first, then add Authorization: Bearer nv_… after bootstrap.

REST fallback if you are not on MCP:

# Deploy first (no email): curl -sS -X POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/demo
curl -sS -X POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/bootstrap \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'

Verify the emailed OTP after the live URL to unlock full Free quotas.
