Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Nhost MCP Server?
Connect your Nhost project to any AI agent to manage your backend services through natural language. This server provides a comprehensive interface for Nhost's Authentication and Storage services.
What you can do
- Authentication Flows — Sign in users via email/password, OTP, magic links, or anonymous sessions using
signin_email_password,signin_otp_email, andsignin_passwordless_email. - User Management — Register new accounts with
signup_email_password, retrieve profiles withget_user, and handle password resets or email changes. - Session Control — Refresh access tokens and securely sign out users from single or all devices using
refresh_tokenandsignout. - Cloud Storage — Upload files directly to your Nhost buckets using the
upload_filetool, supporting both text and base64 content.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your Nhost Auth and Storage URLs from your project dashboard
- Start managing users and files from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Full-stack Developers — manage user sessions and test auth flows directly from the IDE without switching to the browser.
- DevOps Engineers — automate user provisioning and file management tasks through simple conversation.
- Support Teams — quickly verify user profile information and account status to resolve customer issues faster.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Nhost in Vercel AI SDK
The Nhost MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 15 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Vercel AI SDK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Nhost for Vercel AI SDK
Every tool call from Vercel AI SDK to the Nhost MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I retrieve the profile of the currently logged-in user?
Use the get_user tool. It fetches the authenticated user's profile information, including their ID and metadata, provided a valid JWT is configured.
Is it possible to store documents or images using this server?
Yes. The upload_file action allows you to send raw text or base64 content along with a filename directly to your Nhost Storage bucket.
Can I initiate a login without requiring a password?
Absolutely. Use the signin_passwordless_email tool to send a magic link to a user's email address for a seamless passwordless authentication experience.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
Install: npm install @ai-sdk/mcp
