NESTR_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add nestr-dev-nestr-mcp --transport http https://mcp.nestr.io/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nestr-dev-nestr-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.nestr.io/mcp"
    }

}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.nestr.io

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @nestr/mcp - the @nestr scope differs from the repo owner (nestr-dev); confirm it's the project's official package

registry vendor namespace io.nestr - domain-verified with the official MCP registry
