Nife.io MCP Server

---

🌟 Overview

Nife MCP Server provides a standardized interface to interact with Nife.io's GraphQL API through the Model Context Protocol, enabling seamless integration with Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible applications.

✨ Key Features

• 🧠 Intelligent Schema Discovery - Automatically discovers and adapts to the GraphQL schema
• 🔧 Dynamic Tool Generation - Creates MCP tools on-the-fly from schema
• 🚀 Zero Configuration - Works out of the box with minimal setup
• 🔒 Secure Authentication - Bearer token support with flexible configuration
• 📦 Multiple Install Methods - PyPI, NPM, or GitHub
• 🌐 Cross-Platform - Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
• ⚡ Production Ready - Comprehensive error handling and logging

📦 Installation

Option 1: PyPI (Recommended for Python users)

pip install nife-mcp-server

Option 2: NPM (Best for Claude Desktop)

npx @nifelabs/mcp-server@latest

Option 3: From Source

git clone https://github.com/nifetency/nife-mcp-graphql
cd nife-mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt

🚀 Quick Start

1. Get Your Access Token

nifectl auth login
nifectl auth token

2. Configure Claude Desktop

You can use the Nife MCP Server in three ways depending on your setup.

---

1. Recommended: Using NPX (No Installation Required)

This is the easiest way to get started.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nife": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "@nifelabs/mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "NIFE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token_here",
        "PYTHON": "PYTHON_PATH"

      }
    }
  }
}

---

2. 🐍 Using Python (Installed via pip)

If you installed the package via pip:

pip install nife-mcp-server

Use this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nife": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "nife_mcp_server"],
      "env": {
        "NIFE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

---

3. Local Development (Source Code)

If you're running from source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nife": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "nife_mcp_server.intelligent_main"],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "C:\\path\\to\\nife-mcp-server\\src",
        "NIFE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Replace the PYTHONPATH with your local project path.

🎯 Usage

Starting the Server

# If installed via pip
nife-mcp-server

# If running from source
python -m nife_mcp_server.intelligent_main

The server will start on http://0.0.0.0:5000

Environment Variables

• NIFE_ACCESS_TOKEN - Your Nife.io access token
• NIFE_API_ENDPOINT - Custom GraphQL endpoint (optional)

Example Usage with Claude

Once configured, you can ask Claude:

"List all my applications in Nife.io"
"Show me the status of my deployments"
"Create a new application called 'my-app'"
