Manual Configuration Remote Server is recommended - no dependencies, no local process. If remote keeps failing (especially in Claude Code), switch to Local Server.
Local Server requires: Python 3.8+ and pipx (recommended) or uvx
Client-Specific Configuration Choose your coding agent below for detailed configuration instructions. Each section includes both Remote Server (Recommended) and Local Server options.
Go to: Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server In Cursor 1.0 and later, manually edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
macOS : ~/.cursor/mcp.jsonWindows : %APPDATA%\Cursor\mcp.jsonLinux : ~/.config/cursor/mcp.json See Cursor MCP docs for more info. Remote Server (Recommended): { "mcpServers" : { "nia" : { "url" : "https://apigcp.trynia.ai/mcp" , "headers" : { "Authorization" : "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }
Local Server: { "mcpServers" : { "nia" : { "command" : "pipx" , "args" : [ "run" , "--no-cache" , "nia-mcp-server" ], "env" : { "NIA_API_KEY" : "YOUR_API_KEY" , "NIA_API_URL" : "https://apigcp.trynia.ai/" } } } }
Open your VS Code MCP configuration:
Run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette
Or manually edit:
macOS/Linux : ~/.config/Code/User/mcp.jsonWindows : %APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json
See VS Code MCP docs for more info. Remote Server (Recommended): "mcp" : { "servers" : { "nia" : { "type" : "http" , "url" : "https://apigcp.trynia.ai/mcp" , "headers" : { "Authorization" : "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }
Local Server: "mcp" : { "servers" : { "nia" : { "type" : "stdio" , "command" : "pipx" , "args" : [ "run" , "--no-cache" , "nia-mcp-server" ], "env" : { "NIA_API_KEY" : "YOUR_API_KEY" , "NIA_API_URL" : "https://apigcp.trynia.ai/" } } } }

Remote Server (Recommended): # For current project only (default) claude mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" nia "https://apigcp.trynia.ai/mcp" # For global installation (all projects) claude mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" --scope user nia "https://apigcp.trynia.ai/mcp"
Local Server: # For current project only (default) claude mcp add -e NIA_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY -e NIA_API_URL=https://apigcp.trynia.ai/ nia -- pipx run --no-cache nia-mcp-server # For global installation (all projects) claude mcp add --scope user -e NIA_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY -e NIA_API_URL=https://apigcp.trynia.ai/ nia -- pipx run --no-cache nia-mcp-server
Scope Options: Scope Description --scope localCurrent project only (default) - stored in .mcp.json --scope userAll projects for current user - stored in ~/.claude/settings.json
Use --scope user if you want Nia available across all your projects without configuring each one separately.

Emdash is an orchestration layer for running multiple coding agents in parallel.What Emdash provides:
Global toggle: Settings → MCP → “Enable Nia MCP”
Per-workspace enable: The Nia button in the ProviderBar
What you still need to do:
Configure your coding agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to connect to Nia MCP. Emdash does not modify your agent’s config.See the Emdash repository for more information.
Use these alternatives to run the local Nia MCP server with other runtimes. Bun: { "mcpServers" : { "nia" : { "command" : "bunx" , "args" : [ "nia-mcp-server" ], "env" : { "NIA_API_KEY" : "YOUR_API_KEY" , "NIA_API_URL" : "https://apigcp.trynia.ai/" } } } }

Create a Dockerfile:
FROM python:3.11-slim WORKDIR /app RUN pip install nia-mcp-server CMD [ "nia-mcp-server" ]
Build the image:
