MCP Apps (Interactive UI)

MCP Apps are interactive UI components that can be embedded in MCP clients that support them (like Claude.ai). They provide rich, visual interfaces for working with Nestr data.

Completable List

Resource URI: ui://nestr/completable-list

An interactive list for viewing and completing tasks and projects.

Features:

  • Projects show a box icon, todos show a checkbox

  • Check items to mark them complete (strikethrough)

  • Inline editing of titles (auto-saves)

  • Drag-and-drop reordering

  • Shows parent path for context

  • Quick link to open item in Nestr

Usage: When an AI assistant returns task or project results, supporting clients can render this interactive UI instead of plain text, allowing you to complete items, edit titles, and reorder directly in the chat.

Authentication

The hosted service at mcp.nestr.io handles OAuth automatically. Just add the server and authenticate through your browser.

OAuth respects user-specific permissions - the AI assistant can only access what the authenticated user can access.

API Key

API keys provide full workspace access and work with the local npm package. See Quick Start above.

Note: API keys have full workspace access regardless of user permissions.

Environment Variables

Authentication (Required)

Variable

Description

NESTR_API_KEY

Nestr API key (full workspace access)

NESTR_OAUTH_TOKEN

OAuth token (respects user permissions)

* Either NESTR_API_KEY or NESTR_OAUTH_TOKEN is required for local usage.

Configuration (Optional)

Variable

Description

Default

NESTR_API_BASE

API base URL

https://app.nestr.io/api

Hosting/Server (HTTP transport only)

These are used when running the HTTP server for hosted deployments:

Variable

Description

Default

PORT

HTTP server port

3000

NESTR_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID

OAuth client ID for hosted OAuth flow

-

NESTR_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

OAuth client secret

-

OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY

32-byte base64 key for encrypting OAuth sessions at rest

-

GTM_ID

Google Tag Manager container ID for landing page

-

Analytics (Optional)

Server-side analytics options:

GA4 Measurement Protocol:

Variable

Description

GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID

GA4 Measurement ID (e.g., G-XXXXXXXXXX)

GA4_API_SECRET

Measurement Protocol API secret

GA4_DEBUG

Set to true to validate events without recording

Note: Both GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID and GA4_API_SECRET are required for GA4 tracking. If only the measurement ID is set, a warning is logged and tracking is disabled.

MCPcat (MCP-specific analytics):

Variable

Description

MCPCAT_PROJECT_ID

MCPcat project ID (from mcpcat.io)

MCPCAT_ENABLE_REPLAY

Enable session replay (default: false)

Development

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/nestr-dev/nestr-mcp.git
cd nestr-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Set your API key
export NESTR_API_KEY=your-api-key

Security

  • Never commit your API key or OAuth token to version control

  • OAuth tokens respect user permissions and are recommended

  • API keys provide full workspace access - use OAuth for granular permissions

  • Rotate credentials if you suspect they've been compromised
