Our assessment of nexusmods-mcp
nexusmods-mcp scores 63/100 on our quality scale, 4013th of 4,629 Development & Engineering skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 2.9 KB long, split into 5 sections with 2 code examples: a solid amount of guidance for an agent.
It has 3 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 7 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 69/100, with 4 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

MCP-сервер на Go для Nexus Mods: REST v1 (игры, мод, файлы, changelog, ленты, отслеживаемые моды, лимиты) и GraphQL v2 (поиск с фильтрами, зависимости мода, расширенная карточка mod).
- stdio (по умолчанию):
docker run -i— Cursor, OpenClaw,mcp-smoke. - HTTP (
MCP_TRANSPORT=http): streamable HTTP для клиентов с поддержкой; см. docs/MCP.md. Не публикуй порт без защиты.
Код: cmd/server, internal/nexus, internal/toolreg.
Tools (17): nexus_games, nexus_search_mods, nexus_get_mod, nexus_get_mod_graphql, nexus_list_mod_files, nexus_get_mod_file, nexus_get_mod_changelog, nexus_get_mod_requirements, nexus_get_game, nexus_game_categories, nexus_mods_latest_updated, nexus_mods_latest_added, nexus_mods_trending, nexus_mods_recently_updated, nexus_get_tracked_mods, nexus_get_rate_limits, nexus_invalidate_cache — контракт в docs/MCP.md.
Быстрый старт
Из каталога репозитория (удобно держать клон на ext4 в WSL, например ~/nexusmods-mcp):
cd ~/nexusmods-mcp
docker build -t nexus-mcp:local .
docker run --rm -i \
-e NEXUSMODS_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY" \
-e NEXUSMODS_APPLICATION_NAME="nexusmods-mcp-local" \
-e NEXUSMODS_APPLICATION_VERSION="0.1.0" \
nexus-mcp:local
Флаг -i нужен, чтобы клиент подключился к stdin MCP.
Шаблон переменных: .env.example. Ключ API: Account → API. Ответы API по умолчанию кешируются в памяти 24h (NEXUSMODS_CACHE_TTL) — подробности в docs/MCP.md.
После обновления кода снова собери образ или бинарь — иначе Cursor продолжит показывать старый список tools из tools/list. См. docs/MCP.md (типичные ошибки).
Документация
- docs/MCP.md — транспорты, переменные окружения, контракт tools, Cursor, Claude Desktop, отладка, типичные ошибки
- TESTING.md —
go test, Docker,mcp-smoke, матрица сбоев - AGENT-TEST-PLAYBOOK.md — короткий чеклист A→D
Примеры конфигурации MCP-клиентов
| Файл | Назначение |
|------|------------|
| cursor-mcp.json.example | Cursor: ключ в -e |
| cursor-mcp-envfile.example.json | Cursor: --env-file + абсолютный путь к .env |
| claude_desktop_config.json.example | Claude Desktop: Docker + --env-file |
Не коммить реальные ключи. Nexus API acceptable use.
Локальная разработка (Go 1.26+)
go build -o nexusmods-mcp ./cmd/server
