⚙️ Claude Desktop Configuration

To connect Claude Desktop to Nyxora, you need to add Nyxora as an MCP Server in your Claude configuration file.

1. Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the following JSON snippet to the mcpServers object.

If you installed Nyxora globally (Option 1 & 2):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nyxora": {
      "command": "nyxora",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

If you run Nyxora from source code (Option 3):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nyxora": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/Nyxora/packages/mcp-server/dist/server.js"]
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop. You will now see a new "plug" icon or Nyxora tools available in your Claude chat!

** NVM & PATH Troubleshooting (Important for Claude Desktop)😗* Claude Desktop is a GUI application and does not automatically inherit your terminal's PATH variables. If you installed Node.js via NVM or Volta, Claude may fail to find the nyxora or node command.

If you encounter connection errors, you must replace "nyxora" with the absolute path to the binary. To find the correct path, run which nyxora (or which node) in your terminal. For example: "command": "/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v20.0.0/bin/nyxora".
