Connect Claude Code

Add nolyo as an MCP server to Claude Code from the terminal, using a bearer API key. One command and you're connected.

  1. Create an API key

    Open the API keys page and create one. It starts with nly_ and is shown to you exactly once — copy it now.

    Keep it secret

    An API key acts as you. Don't commit it to a repo or paste it into a shared chat. You can revoke a key any time from the same page.

  2. Add nolyo to Claude Code

    Run this in your terminal, pasting your key in place of nly_...:

    claude mcp add --transport http nolyo https://app.nolyo.net/mcp \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer nly_..."

    Or edit ~/.claude.json directly:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "nolyo": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://app.nolyo.net/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer nly_..."
          }
        }
      }
    }
  3. Verify it's connected

    Inside Claude Code, run /mcp and confirm nolyo shows as connected. Then ask Claude to call the whoami tool — it should return your email.

  4. Start using it

    Ask in plain language and Claude will reach for the right tool:

    "Save our meeting notes to a nolyo note called standup, then list my collections."
Other CLI clients

Any MCP-aware terminal client (OpenCode, custom agents, and others) connects the same way: point it at https://app.nolyo.net/mcp over Streamable HTTP with an Authorization: Bearer nly_... header.
