How do I connect this MCP to my Nhost project?

You subscribe via Vinkius and provide your Nhost Auth and Storage URLs. Once connected, it is ready to use in your AI client.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I manage files with this MCP?

Yes, you can upload, download, and delete files in your Nhost buckets using the storage capabilities.

Do I need special permissions for user management?

Some capabilities, like changing a user's email or getting profile info, require NHOST_JWT credentials.

Vinkius manages the connection and credentials, allowing your agent to interact with your Nhost services securely.

How can I retrieve the profile of the currently logged-in user?

Use the get_user capability. 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 capability to send a magic link to a user's email address for a seamless passwordless authentication experience.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Auth Flow Testing

Quickly verify that your signup and password reset logic works by having your agent trigger the flows.

User Troubleshooting

Check a user's profile or email status to diagnose login problems.

Automated File Uploads

Have your agent upload configuration files or assets directly to your Nhost buckets.

Session Debugging

Test token refreshing and sign-out logic to ensure your app handles sessions correctly.

Automate a task

Put Nhost to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Nhost works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Nhost to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 15 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Nhost, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Nhost. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
