Connect Claude Code to Nordva Launch

01Register the server

claude mcp add --transport http nordva https://mcp.nordva.dev \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer nv_live_..."

Run it in your project's folder. The name comes before the URL. By default the server is added for that folder only and stored outside the repository; add --scope user to make it available in every project. Claude Code loads servers when it starts, so quit and start it again in that folder; /mcp lists the Nordva tools.

02Or share it with the team without sharing the key

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nordva": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.nordva.dev",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${NORDVA_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code expands ${NORDVA_API_KEY} from the environment, so the file can be committed while each developer keeps their own key in their shell profile.

03Check the connection

Run claude mcp list, or type /mcp inside a session. nordva should show as connected. Then ask Claude to run setup_check: it reports the project, the plan and which features are unlocked.
