Nora tools (16, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
delete_agentwrite actionPermanently delete an agent and its runtime container. Irreversible. Only registered because NORA_MCP_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=true.
deploy_agentwrite actionProvision and deploy a new agent runtime. Queues the deployment and returns the created agent; poll get_agent until status is 'running'.
get_agentFetch one agent with live-reconciled status and runtime details (container state, gateway info, resources).
get_agent_costToken-cost rollup for one agent (input/output/total tokens and USD cost, pricing-aware per model). Defaults to the last 30 days.
get_agent_metricsTime-series usage metrics for one agent (CPU, memory, network, disk, tokens) over a time window. Defaults to the last 24h.
get_agent_metrics_summaryAggregated metrics summary for one agent (totals and latest samples).
get_agent_statsFetch real-time agent resource utilization and execution statistics (CPU, memory, disk, network, active tasks, error counts).
get_agent_versionsList an agent's configuration version history (snapshots taken on config changes; usable with the dashboard's rollback).
get_fleet_statusFleet-wide needs-attention roll-up for agents and platform components.
get_platform_metricsFleet-level metrics for the workspace: agent counts by status (active/deploying/warning/error/queued/stopped), total deployments, and provisioning queue depth.
list_agentsList all agents accessible to the API key's workspace, with status, runtime family, deploy target, resources, and placement.
list_monitoring_eventsRecent platform/agent events (deploys, lifecycle changes, alerts, budget crossings). Filter by agent, type, free-text search, or time range.
redeploy_agentTear down and re-provision the agent's runtime container with its current configuration. Only valid when the agent is stopped, in warning, or in error state — stop a running agent first.
restart_agentRestart a running agent runtime in place.
start_agentStart a stopped agent runtime.
stop_agentStop a running agent runtime. The agent keeps its state and can be started again.

What Is Nora?
Nora is the self-hosted AI agent ops platform for running autonomous agent fleets on infrastructure you control — whether you standardize on OpenClaw, Hermes, or keep both available in the same operator surface.
Most teams running agents in production eventually rebuild the same layer around the runtime itself: deploy workflows, secrets, monitoring, logs, terminal, templates, and a separate admin surface. Nora exists so that layer doesn't have to be rewritten every time the runtime conversation changes. Operator workflows live under /app; platform-wide admin lives under /admin.

Features
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Install directly
Runs npx -y @noraai/mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
