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.

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 Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
