Setting Up NoClick MCP

NoClick provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets you interact with your workflows directly from AI coding assistants. Create, configure, and run workflows without leaving your editor.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that allows AI assistants to securely connect to external tools and data sources. With NoClick MCP, your AI assistant can:

Create, edit, and delete workflows in real time
Add and configure nodes with full progressive disclosure
Execute workflows and inspect results
Manage credentials and dynamic field options

NoClick uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for authentication. Your browser opens once to authorize, and the token is saved automatically.

Claude Code

The recommended way to connect. Add NoClick to your project’s .mcp.json file in the project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "noclick": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.noclick.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or use the CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http noclick https://api.noclick.io/mcp

Project-scoped config (.mcp.json) is recommended so your team can share the same setup via version control. You can also add it globally to ~/.claude.json if you prefer.

Authenticate

On first use, Claude Code will open your browser to authorize with your NoClick account. The token is saved automatically for future sessions.

Keep the Claude Code session running while you approve in the browser — it hosts a temporary local server that receives the authorization. Closing the terminal (or approving from an old tab) breaks the hand-off with a “localhost refused to connect” error; just re-run /mcp → Authenticate and approve promptly.

Verify

Ask Claude Code to list your workflows:

> List my NoClick workflows

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or globally at ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "noclick": {
      "url": "https://api.noclick.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor after saving. On first tool use, a browser window will open for OAuth authentication.

Windsurf

Add to your Windsurf MCP config:

macOS/Linux: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "noclick": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.noclick.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf uses serverUrl (not url) for remote servers, which differs from other clients.

Restart Windsurf after saving.

OpenAI Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in your project):

[mcp_servers.noclick]
url = "https://api.noclick.io/mcp"

Or use the CLI:

codex mcp add noclick --url https://api.noclick.io/mcp

Claude (Web)

In Claude, go to Settings > Connectors, choose Add custom connector, and paste the URL:

https://api.noclick.io/mcp

This works on claude.ai and the Claude desktop app on all plans. Claude will open a browser window for OAuth authentication on first use.

ChatGPT

Custom MCP connectors in ChatGPT require developer mode (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans; on team plans an admin must allow it first).

Go to Settings > Apps & Connectors and toggle Developer mode on under Advanced settings.
Back in Apps & Connectors, click Create.
Enter a name and paste the URL as the MCP Server URL:

https://api.noclick.io/mcp

In a chat, enable the connector from the + / tools menu.

ChatGPT will prompt you to authorize with your NoClick account.

Claude Desktop

The easiest path on Claude Desktop is the custom connector flow described under Claude (Web) above; it works in the desktop app too. If you prefer a config-file setup, Claude Desktop’s config uses stdio-based servers, so connect to NoClick’s remote server through the mcp-remote wrapper:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "noclick": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.noclick.io/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Fully quit and restart Claude Desktop after editing the config.

Troubleshooting

Authentication fails or times out

Make sure you have a NoClick account at noclick.com
Check that pop-ups aren’t blocked in your browser
Try clearing your browser cookies for noclick.com and re-authenticating

localhost refused to connect after clicking Allow

Your browser is being handed back to the CLI’s temporary local login server, and nothing is listening anymore. This happens when the terminal session that started the authentication was closed or timed out, or when you approved from a tab opened by an earlier attempt.

Keep the CLI session open for the whole flow — don’t close or interrupt it
Re-run the authentication (in Claude Code: /mcp → select the server → Authenticate) and approve promptly in the tab it opens
Don’t reuse a link from a previous attempt — each attempt uses a fresh localhost port
Running the CLI over SSH or in a container? localhost refers to that machine, not your browser’s — forward the callback port (ssh -L <port>:localhost:<port> …) or open the callback URL from that machine

Can't reach the NoClick server

Verify your internet connection
Check if https://api.noclick.io is accessible from your network
If using a corporate network, you may need to configure proxy settings

Tools not showing up

Restart your AI assistant after adding the MCP configuration
Verify the JSON/TOML syntax in your config file is valid
In Claude Code, run claude mcp list to verify the server is registered
In Cursor, check Settings > Features > MCP Servers for connection status

Windsurf: server not connecting

Make sure you’re using serverUrl (not url) in the config
Windsurf has a limit of 100 total tools across all MCP servers
