Two Integration Paths

MCP Protocol (AI Bridge)

Connect any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude, Gemini, Cursor, etc.) directly to your dashboard. The AI discovers available tools automatically.

API Key Auth

REST API

Traditional REST endpoint for scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or custom integrations. Uses Firebase ID tokens for user authentication.

Bearer Token

Base URL

Production

https://cloudnerve-dashboard-api-ygiud3zwvq-uc.a.run.app

Endpoints

GET/healthNo Auth

Health check. Returns service status.

Response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "timestamp": "2026-05-24T20:18:00.000Z"
}

POST/api/workspace/updateBearer Token

Merges the supplied fields into the authenticated user's default workspace. Supports updating the name, visibility, and categories with links.

Authentication

Header

Authorization: Bearer <firebase-id-token>

Get a Firebase ID token by calling getIdToken() on the authenticated Firebase user in your client app, or via the Firebase Auth REST API.

Getting Started: API Key

The MCP endpoint requires an API key passed via the X-API-Key header. Each key is bound to your account — actions are performed against your workspaces.

Step 1: Generate Your Key

Go to Settings → Connection Center and scroll to MCP API Keys. Click Generate Key and copy it immediately — the key is shown only once.

Your generated key will look like

cnk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7f8a9b0

Step 2: Add to Your AI Client

After generating your key, expand the Ready-to-paste MCP config dropdown to get a copy-paste JSON block for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or any MCP-compatible client.

Header format

X-API-Key: cnk_<your-key>

Key Security

How keys work

• Keys are hashed (SHA-256) before storage — we never store raw keys
• Each key is bound to your Firebase UID — MCP actions target your account
• Max 5 active keys per user — revoke old ones in Settings
• Keys are validated server-side on every MCP request before tools execute
• You can label keys (e.g. "Claude Desktop", "Cursor") for easy tracking

MCP Client Setup

Add the CloudNerve MCP server to your AI client's configuration to let AI assistants manage your dashboard automatically.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor MCP settings:

MCP Server Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudnerve-dashboard": {
      "url": "https://cloudnerve-dashboard-api-ygiud3zwvq-uc.a.run.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "<your-mcp-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI / Google Antigravity

Add to your mcp_config.json or Antigravity MCP settings:

MCP Server Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudnerve-dashboard": {
      "url": "https://cloudnerve-dashboard-api-ygiud3zwvq-uc.a.run.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "<your-mcp-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage Examples

Once your MCP client is connected, simply ask your AI assistant in natural language. The AI will discover and call the right tool automatically.

Adding Links

“Save the Terraform docs to my dashboard under Infrastructure”

→ add_to_dashboard

“Add this Kubernetes tutorial to my 4208-Kensal-Links workspace under DevOps, with a note that it covers pod networking”

→ add_to_dashboard (with workspaceId + notes)

“Bookmark https://cloud.google.com/run/docs under API Reference with a link to my NotebookLM notebook”

→ add_to_dashboard (with sourceUrl)

Searching & Browsing

“Search for Financial in my dashboard links”

→ search_links (matches categories + link content)

“List all my workspaces”

→ list_workspaces

“Show me all links in the Infrastructure category”

→ list_links (with category filter)

Annotating & Logging

“Add a note to the Kubernetes docs link: covers v1.30 ingress changes”

→ add_note_to_link

“Log this Antigravity session — we built the export feature and fixed the MCP search”

→ log_session (auto-creates Sessions workspace)

“Export my CloudWorkspace as Markdown and save it to NotebookLM”

→ list_links (then frontend Export button)
