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, and signin_passwordless_email.
User Management — Register new accounts with signup_email_password, retrieve profiles with get_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_token and signout.
Cloud Storage — Upload files directly to your Nhost buckets using the upload_file tool, supporting both text and base64 content.

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Nhost into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Nhost and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 15 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

—
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
—
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
—
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
—
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

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.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
