The Novu MCP Server now supports OAuth for Novu Cloud. Point your AI client at the MCP URL, approve the sign-in prompt on first use, and you're connected — no secret key to copy, paste, or rotate.

OAuth is the recommended path for interactive clients like Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and ChatGPT. API keys still work as a fallback for clients without remote OAuth, autonomous agents, and self-hosted Novu.

## Connect in one step

Add the MCP URL for your region and save. Your client handles the rest — it prompts you to sign in to Novu the first time it calls a tool.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "novu": {
      "url": "https://mcp.novu.co/"
    }
  }
}
```

Use `https://mcp.novu.co/` for US and [https://eu.mcp.novu.co/](<https://eu.mcp.novu.co/>) for EU — match the region of your Novu dashboard.

Available on every Novu Cloud plan. [Read the MCP connection guide](<https://docs.novu.co/platform/build-with-ai/mcp?utm_source=changelog&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=mcp-oauth>).
