Run this in a terminal, in your project folder: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http nomads-com https://nomads.com/mcp ``` 2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **nomads-com** should show as connected. To sign in for more access, pick it and choose **Authenticate**. Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one. Works without a key. An API key from Nomads.com raises the limits: send it as `Authorization: Bearer `. ### Claude Desktop 1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**. 2. Name it **Nomads.com** and paste this URL: ```url https://nomads.com/mcp ``` 3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**. Signing in to Nomads.com is optional. Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too. ### claude.ai 1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you: [Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings) 2. Check that the URL reads `https://nomads.com/mcp` and click **Add**. 3. Click **Connect**. Signing in to Nomads.com is optional. Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**. ### ChatGPT 1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**. 2. Enter a name for the server. 3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://nomads.com/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **No authentication**, or **OAuth** to sign in to Nomads.com for more access. 4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**. Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can). ### Cursor [Add to Cursor]() (opens Cursor) Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project): `mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "nomads-com": { "url": "https://nomads.com/mcp" } } } ``` Works without a key. An API key from Nomads.com raises the limits: send it as `Authorization: Bearer `. ### VS Code [Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code) Or from a terminal: ```bash code --add-mcp '{"name":"nomads-com","type":"http","url":"https://nomads.com/mcp"}' ``` Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`: `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "nomads-com": { "type": "http", "url": "https://nomads.com/mcp" } } } ``` Works without a key. An API key from Nomads.com raises the limits: send it as `Authorization: Bearer `. ### Devin Desktop 1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows): `mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "nomads-com": { "serverUrl": "https://nomads.com/mcp" } } } ``` 2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade. Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers. Works without a key. An API key from Nomads.com raises the limits: send it as `Authorization: Bearer `. ### Codex ```bash codex mcp add nomads-com --url https://nomads.com/mcp ``` Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly: `config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.nomads-com] url = "https://nomads.com/mcp" ``` Works without a key. An API key from Nomads.com raises the limits: send it as `Authorization: Bearer `. ### Gemini CLI ```bash gemini mcp add --transport http nomads-com https://nomads.com/mcp ``` Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth nomads-com` to sign in (optional). This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere. Works without a key. An API key from Nomads.com raises the limits: send it as `Authorization: Bearer `. ### Any client Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file. ```json { "mcpServers": { "nomads-com": { "type": "http", "url": "https://nomads.com/mcp" } } } ``` Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE. Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://nomads.com/mcp`. Works without a key. An API key from Nomads.com raises the limits: send it as `Authorization: Bearer `. ## Recent changes - 2026-10-29 11:40 UTC: Server instructions changed. Source: automatic check.
