MCP - Connect AI assistants to your workspace

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants to connect directly to the tools and data they need. Think of it as a universal plug that lets any AI assistant — like Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot — talk to Nestr on your behalf.

Instead of copy-pasting information between your AI assistant and Nestr, MCP creates a live connection. Your AI assistant can read your governance structure, create projects, process tensions, manage your inbox, and much more — all while respecting your permissions and role authority.

What can you do with it?

Once connected, your AI assistant can help you with virtually everything you do in Nestr:

• Navigate your organisation — Ask your AI about your roles, circles, accountabilities, and who is responsible for what.
• Manage work — Create and update projects, tasks, and track progress across your roles.
• Process tensions — Capture tensions, create governance proposals, and run asynchronous consent processes.
• Plan your day — Review your inbox, build your daily plan, and prioritise work across all your workspaces.
• Propose governance changes — Draft new roles, update accountabilities, and submit proposals for consent — all from your AI assistant.
• Set up new workspaces — Let your AI guide you through creating a new workspace with circles, roles, and governance structure.

Who is it for?

The Nestr MCP serves two distinct use cases:

AI-assisted self-organisation — You fill roles in your organisation and want an AI assistant to help you navigate governance, process tensions, manage projects, and stay on top of your work. The AI acts as your co-pilot, helping you be more effective in your roles.

Agentic work — AI agents can fill roles directly in your organisation. They energize roles, own accountabilities, process tensions autonomously, and communicate with other roles (human or AI) through Nestr's tension system. This makes agentic work scalable, auditable, and governed by the same rules as human work.

How to connect

Connecting is simple. Most MCP-compatible AI clients handle the setup automatically.

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients:

1. Add the Nestr MCP server URL to your client's MCP configuration: https://mcp.nestr.io/mcp
2. When prompted, authenticate with your Nestr account
3. Start asking your AI assistant about your organisation

For developers and custom integrations:

You can also connect using a workspace API key or a personal API key for programmatic access. See the authentication options on the MCP server page.

Getting started

Once connected, try asking your AI assistant:

• "What roles do I fill?"
• "Show me my active projects"
• "What's in my inbox?"
• "Help me propose a new role for our marketing circle"
• "What tensions are waiting for my consent?"

Your AI assistant will use the MCP connection to fetch live data from your Nestr workspace and help you take action — all within the authority of your roles.

The Nestr MCP is free to use for all Nestr users. Simply connect and start working smarter with AI.
