This article explains how to connect your coding workspace to Novus using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Connecting these tools allows Novus to bring your product analytics, wikis, and insights directly into your environment, helping you make data-driven decisions seamlessly.

MCP Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized way for different tools to communicate with each other securely. When you connect to the Novus MCP server, you create a secure bridge between your coding environment and your product analytics.

Instead of switching between windows to check usage data or read your product wiki, the MCP server allows Novus to bring that information directly into your workspace. Novus reads your queries, fetches the relevant product data, and interprets the results on your behalf, helping you make informed decisions without leaving your editor.

Novus MCP

The Novus MCP works as a dedicated assistant that understands both your product data and your questions. Once connected, Novus continuously acts on your behalf by:

• Querying product usage: Novus fetches feature adoption rates, page views, and visitor metrics to answer your questions in real time.
• Exploring your product wiki: Novus automatically references your generated product knowledge, including user personas and key workflows, to provide helpful context.
• Reviewing signals and issues: Novus constantly monitors your data to detect anomalies, drop-offs, and opportunities, then surfaces these insights directly to you.

When you ask a question in your connected tool, Novus securely authenticates your request, translates your question into a data query, retrieves the specific insights for your selected application, and formats the answer so it is easy to understand.

Configuring Novus with your IDE

Use the instructions below to connect Novus to your preferred coding workspace. During setup, Novus securely authenticates your account and links your selected application so it can fetch data on your behalf.

Claude Code

Connect Novus directly to Claude Code to ask questions about your product analytics.

1. Open your terminal and enter the command provided on your MCP Server settings page.
2. Open a Claude Code session inside your project.
3. Enter /mcp to start the authentication process.
4. Select your subscription and application from the dropdown menus on the authorization screen, then select Connect. Behind the scenes, Novus establishes a secure link to your specific product data.
5. Start asking questions. Novus will automatically translate your requests and fetch the necessary analytics on your behalf.
