MCP Server
The Novyx MCP server is a developer access path into the action gate. It lets MCP-capable agents request governed actions, attach context, read decisions, and inspect audit evidence.
Current novyx-mcp builds register 102 tools. Exact counts can change as experimental tools move in or out of the registry, so the useful adoption path is the workflow, not the count.
Install: pip install novyx-mcp
No API key needed for local memory work
novyx-mcp can run locally with SQLite at ~/.novyx/local.db. Use cloud mode when you need shared audit evidence, approvals, or production action governance.
Modes
| Mode | Storage | API Key | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local | SQLite (~/.novyx/local.db) | Not required | Personal context, local development, memory experiments |
| Cloud | Novyx API (Postgres) | Required | Protected actions, approvals, audit evidence, team workflows |
Start with the action surface
| Workflow | Representative tools | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Request a protected action | submit_action, list_pending, approve_action, action_history | Primary |
| Attach and inspect evidence | audit, audit_verify, trace_create, trace_step, trace_complete | Primary |
| Preserve context | remember, recall, list_memories, context_now | Supporting |
| Recovery review | rollback_preview, rollback_history, create_checkpoint, rollback_to_checkpoint | Supporting; scope varies by API |
| Experimental support | cortex_*, eval_*, replay snapshots | Off by default or product-dependent |
