Nhost

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.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Provide your Nhost Auth and Storage URLs from your project dashboard
  3. 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.
