Novada MCP server

Novada MCP

One MCP server for the entire live web. Search, extract, scrape, crawl, proxy, browser automation, and AI-powered research — behind a single hosted connection, or one local install if you'd rather run it yourself.

Quickstart

Novada is hosted-first — there's nothing to install. Point your client at the hosted URL and you're done.

Security note: the hosted URL contains your API key in the ?apikey= parameter — treat it like a password. Never share it, never post it publicly, and never configure it as a shared or organization-level connector. Header-capable clients: prefer Authorization: Bearer instead — it keeps the key out of URLs and access logs.

1. Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Name it Novada.
3. Paste the URL (contains your key — see security note above):

https://mcp.novada.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_KEY

1. Click Add.
