MCP Server
neru-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets your AI assistant publish and deploy applications to Code Hub without leaving your chat interface. You can create Code Hub products, upload source code, publish versions, and deploy running VCR instances entirely through natural language instructions.
Connect to the Hosted Server
neru-mcp runs on VCR and is available as a remote endpoint — no local installation is required. Choose the endpoint closest to your region.
| Region | MCP URL |
|---|---|
| EU West (Ireland) | https://vcr-mcp.euw1.runtime.vonage.cloud/mcp |
| US East (Virginia) | https://vcr-mcp.use1.runtime.vonage.cloud/mcp |
| AP Southeast (Singapore) | https://vcr-mcp.apse1.runtime.vonage.cloud/mcp |
| AP Southeast (Sydney) | https://vcr-mcp.apse2.runtime.vonage.cloud/mcp |
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"neru-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://vcr-mcp.euw1.runtime.vonage.cloud/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-Account-ID": "<your-api-key>",
"X-Account-Secret": "<your-api-secret>",
"X-Region": "euw1"
}
}
}
}
VS Code / GitHub Copilot
Add to .vscode/mcp.json (or your workspace MCP config):
{
"servers": {
"neru-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://vcr-mcp.euw1.runtime.vonage.cloud/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-Account-ID": "<your-api-key>",
"X-Account-Secret": "<your-api-secret>",
"X-Region": "euw1"
}
}
}
}
OpenCode
Add to your OpenCode config:
{
"mcp": {
"neru-mcp": {
"type": "remote",
"url": "https://vcr-mcp.euw1.runtime.vonage.cloud/mcp",
"enabled": true,
"headers": {
"X-Account-ID": "<your-api-key>",
"X-Account-Secret": "<your-api-secret>",
"X-Region": "euw1"
}
}
}
}
Replace <your-api-key> and <your-api-secret> with your Vonage API credentials). Set X-Region to the region where you want to deploy.
Credentials
Every tool accepts credentials either as HTTP headers (recommended) or as explicit tool parameters. Headers take precedence when both are present.
| Header | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
X-Account-ID | account_id | Vonage API key |
X-Account-Secret | account_secret | Vonage API secret |
X-Region | region | Target region: euw1, use1, apse1, or apse2 |
Standard Deployment Workflow
You can ask your AI assistant to run this entire flow: "Publish my VCR app to Code Hub". The assistant will call each tool in order, prompt you for any missing values, and return the live instance URL at the end.
