Configure your AI client

Claude Desktop

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nova-adk": {
      "command": "nova-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "NOVA_API_URL": "https://api.novalab.build",
        "NOVA_API_KEY": "nova_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see a 🔌 tools icon in the input — Nova's 6 tools are listed.

Usage in chat

Use nova_design to create a landing page for CodeFlow — a dev tool SaaS

Build a Kanban board via nova_tool with working drag-and-drop

Generate FastAPI backend for a Todo app via nova_backend with JWT auth

Your AI client will call the tool, return the result inline.

Example output

nova_design returns complete HTML with Tailwind, mesh gradients, real copy, modern component patterns — the same engine that powers the Nova ADK platform itself.

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
NOVA_API_KEY	✅	—	Your API key from novalab.build
NOVA_API_URL		https://api.novalab.build	Change for self-hosted Nova

Troubleshooting

"MCP server failed to start": Check nova-mcp-server --help works directly (i.e. the pip install succeeded).

"Nova API error (401)": Invalid or expired NOVA_API_KEY.
