UluP Nexus MCP

An MCP server providing tools to search a hand-verified index of indie software and games by keyword, category, language, and pricing. It allows AI assistants to query project details and list available categories without requiring user sign-in.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

UluP Nexus is an index of indie software projects. Use search_projects to find verified projects by keywords, category, language or pricing. Generic words such as "indie" or "app" are ignored, and if nothing matches the closest verified projects are returned with a note. Call list_categories first if you need the valid category slugs.

Advertised read-only

Search verified indie projects in UluP Nexus. All filters are optional and can be combined. Returns name, one-line description, URL, a Nexus page, pricing, categories and languages. Generic words like "indie" or "app" are ignored; with no keywords it lists the newest projects. If nothing matches, the closest verified projects come back with exact_match false and a note.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http ulup-nexus-mcp https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add ulup-nexus-mcp --url https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable ulup-nexus-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ulup-nexus-mcp": {
      "url": "https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ulup-nexus-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start ulup-nexus-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "ulup-nexus-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http ulup-nexus-mcp https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration
https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ulup-nexus-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://nexus.ulupstudio.com/mcp"
    }
