How to Set Up and Use Nautex
Nautex MCP Server integrates the Nautex AI platform with coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI to bridge the gap between product requirements and code implementation. Acting as an AI Architect and Technical Product Manager, it pulls step-by-step guidance tasks from Nautex AI that contain to-do items, affected file references, and automatically synced requirements. Teams use it to communicate PRDs and TRDs to coding agents without overwhelming them, breaking large features into small, foundational, testable steps.
Prerequisites
- A Nautex AI account at nautex.ai with an API token generated from nautex.ai/settings/nautex-api
- uvx installed (part of the uv Python toolchain, install via pip install uv or brew install uv)
- A Nautex project and implementation plan ID created in the Nautex AI dashboard
- An MCP-compatible coding agent: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, or Gemini CLI
Create a Nautex AI account and generate an API token
Sign up at nautex.ai and navigate to Settings > Nautex API to create an API token. Copy your Project ID and Plan ID from the Nautex dashboard — you will need all three values during setup.
Run the interactive setup command
Run the Nautex setup wizard using uvx. It will prompt for your API token, project ID, plan ID, and which coding agent you are using, then write the necessary config files to your project root.
uvx nautex setupOr run setup non-interactively with flags
Pass all parameters directly to skip confirmation prompts. Replace the placeholder values with your actual token, project ID, plan ID, and agent name (e.g., claude-code, cursor, codex).
uvx nautex setup --token <YOUR_NAUTEX_API_TOKEN> --project <PROJECT_ID> --plan <PLAN_ID> --agent claude-code --yesRegister the MCP server with Claude Code
After running setup, register the Nautex MCP server so Claude Code can discover it. The setup wizard may do this automatically, but you can also run it manually.
claude mcp add nautex -s local -- uvx nautex mcpVerify the MCP server is registered
Confirm the Nautex server appears in Claude Code's MCP server list. You should see 'nautex' listed as an available local server.
claude mcp listOpen your project and start a coding session
Launch Claude Code in your project directory. The agent will automatically read the synced Nautex tasks from .nautex/config.json and follow the step-by-step implementation guidance from Nautex AI.
cd your-project && claudeNautex Examples
Client configuration
Nautex is registered via the CLI command rather than a JSON config block. The setup wizard writes agent-specific files automatically, but here is how it registers for Claude Code.
{
"mcpServers": {
"nautex": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["nautex", "mcp"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Once Nautex is connected, ask your coding agent to fetch and follow the synced requirements from Nautex AI.
- "What are the current Nautex tasks I need to implement?"
- "Show me the next step in the Nautex implementation plan"
- "Which files are referenced in the current Nautex task?"
- "Mark the current Nautex task as complete and show me the next one"Troubleshooting Nautex
uvx nautex setup fails with 'command not found'
Install uv first: run 'curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh' (macOS/Linux) or 'pip install uv'. Then retry 'uvx nautex setup'.
Claude Code does not see any Nautex tasks after setup
Run 'claude mcp list' to confirm the server is registered. If it is missing, run 'claude mcp add nautex -s local -- uvx nautex mcp' manually, then verify your .nautex/config.json contains the correct project and plan IDs.
Authentication error: invalid token
Regenerate your API token at app.nautex.ai/settings/nautex-api and re-run 'uvx nautex setup --token <NEW_TOKEN>'. The token is stored in .nautex/.env (git-ignored) and can be edited directly.
