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
You need a Nudget account.
Generate an API Key on the Settings page. (API Key Guide )
Configuration
Add the following to your MCP client’s config file:
Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)
Claude Code (.mcp.json)
{
"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.
