How do I use novyx-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@novyx-mcp draft_memory: Deploy fails if REDIS_URL unset in staging" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

novyx-mcp

Governed actions, shared memory, audit, and rollback for MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code. Works locally with zero config (SQLite) for memory and policy-evaluation workflows, or connects to Novyx Cloud for policy-as-code, approval workflows, governance dashboards, Runtime v2, threat intelligence, auto-defense, replay, and eval baselines. Every Novyx customer makes every other customer safer.

Install

pip install novyx-mcp

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "novyx-memory": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "novyx_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NOVYX_API_KEY": "nram_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "novyx-memory": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "novyx_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NOVYX_API_KEY": "nram_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add novyx-memory -- python -m novyx_mcp

Set the NOVYX_API_KEY environment variable before starting Claude Code. Omit it to use local mode (SQLite, zero config).

CLAUDE.md Integration

After installing and configuring the MCP server above, add this to your project's CLAUDE.md so Claude Code uses Novyx automatically:

## Shared Memory (Novyx MCP)
You have access to novyx-mcp tools for shared memory, knowledge graph, audit,
rollback, replay, and context spaces. Use them when relevant. Store decisions
and status at the end of tasks. Check for context from other agents before
starting new work.

This turns isolated Claude Code sessions into a coordinated team — each session stores what it learned and checks what other sessions have done before starting work.

Canonical Workflow: Draft, Review, Merge

This is the highest-signal Novyx workflow for coding agents:

The agent learns something important, but uses draft_memory(..., branch_id="feature-x") instead of writing directly.
Review the whole branch with memory_branch("feature-x").
Use draft_diff when one draft needs a closer look.
Merge the whole branch with merge_branch("feature-x"), or reject it with reject_branch("feature-x").

Example:

draft_memory(
  observation="Deploys fail if REDIS_URL is unset in staging",
  tags=["ops", "staging"],
  importance=8,
  branch_id="staging-fixes"
)

memory_branch("staging-fixes")

draft_diff("drf_abc123")

merge_branch("staging-fixes")

This keeps agent memory reviewable instead of letting every session write directly into permanent state.
