## nodus mcp

Serve Nodus tools to a local MCP client over stdio

### Synopsis

Runs the Nodus MCP server on standard input and output, for clients that launch it as a subprocess. It acts with this machine’s login (nodus login or NODUS_API_KEY), so it can do what that credential can, and its writes return a dry-run that the client’s user confirms before anything is created. On top of the hosted tools it can upload the current directory as source, download outputs and copy files to and from a Sandbox.

To connect a client, run nodus mcp install CLIENT, or add the hosted server from <https://nodus-compute.ai/connect/>.
