Connect your own AI client (MCP)

NexusPlan runs an MCP server (Model Context Protocol), so you can use your own AI client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, or anything that speaks MCP — to work with your projects. Your client uses your own AI; NexusPlan provides the tools.

Requires a Pro Team or Business plan.

Get a token

1. Go to Account → AI.
2. Under Connect your own AI client (MCP), click Generate token and copy it — it’s shown only once.
3. Note the server URL shown there (it looks like https://app.nexusplan.io/api/mcp).

Tokens act as you and are scoped to your own projects. Keep them secret, and revoke any you no longer use from the same screen.

Add it to your client

Point your MCP client at the server URL with the token as a Bearer credential. Many clients accept a remote HTTP server directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nexusplan": {
      "url": "https://app.nexusplan.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer nxp_your_token_here" }
    }
  }
}

Some desktop clients connect to remote servers through a small bridge such as mcp-remote — check your client’s docs for how it adds a remote MCP server, then use the same URL and token.

What your AI can do

Once connected, your AI has these tools, all limited to your projects: list and inspect projects and floors, search the device catalogue, create a project, add walls, place devices, run a coverage estimate, and export a 3D-printable model.
