MCP Server Setup

Nudget provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Manage your subscriptions, content, and digests directly from AI tools like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and more.

Prerequisites

  1. You need a Nudget account.
  2. Generate an API Key on the Settings page. (API Key Guide)

Configuration

Add the following to your MCP client’s config file:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nudget": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://nudget.app/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
In Claude Code, use the ${CONTENTS_HUB_API_KEY} environment variable to avoid exposing your API key in config files.
