Nhost Overview

nhost/nhost packages an MCP server with the Nhost CLI for working with local and cloud Nhost projects through AI coding assistants. It exposes the GraphQL schema, permitted queries and mutations, permissions, migrations, project configuration, and Nhost documentation. Granular controls limit which GraphQL operations an assistant can execute. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect or modify an Nhost backend as part of development.

Primary Use Cases for Nhost:
  • Inspect a project’s GraphQL schema while building queries
  • Run approved GraphQL queries and mutations during development
  • Manage Nhost permissions and database migrations
  • Update Nhost Cloud project configuration
