Use Nextbridge from Claude Desktop

Generate an API key

The Nextbridge MCP server authenticates with a USER-scoped API key. Each key is tied to your account and can be revoked at any time. Admin tools (treasury, dispute resolution) live on a separate endpoint and require an ADMIN-scoped key.

1. Log in and go to Settings → Security → API keys.
2. Click Create API key, name it (e.g. "Claude Desktop").
3. Copy the key — it starts with nbx_user_. You won't see it again; store it somewhere safe.
4. Paste it into the box below — your config snippet updates as you type.

Add Nextbridge to your AI client

Nextbridge runs as a remote MCP server — there's nothing to install on your machine. Your client connects over HTTPS using mcp-remote, a tiny adapter that ships with npx. Requires Node.js 20+.

Paste the snippet into your client's MCP config file:

Restart and try it

Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS, not just close the window — MCP servers only load on cold start). You should see a small 🔌 icon showing that nextbridge is connected. Try any of these:
