🛡️ Nooxus-AI: Sourcing Edge for Claude Desktop (MCP)

Nooxus-MCP is the official Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway connecting AI models (Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Cherry Studio) to real-time, verified global supply chain data.

By installing this, you instantly upgrade your AI from a conversational chatbot into a Forensic Sourcing Analyst. It cross-references the AII-NOO verified database to expose shell companies, verify real manufacturers, and completely eliminate B2B trade hallucinations.

✨ The "Aha Moment" (Key Features)

• Zero-Hallucination Sourcing: Direct access to Nooxus Edge nodes. If a factory is a fake trading proxy, the AI will know.
• Forensic UI Rendering: Forces the LLM to generate professional UI dashboards (Trust Scores, Red Flags, Capacity) instead of boring text.
• Edge Native Architecture: Pure Cloudflare Zero-Backend architecture featuring L1 memory caching and CRC32 payload security.
• Out-of-the-Box Trial: Includes a built-in global public trial key (1,000,000-query quota). No sign-up required to start!

🚀 Quick Start (Zero Config)

You DO NOT need an API key to start. The system will automatically use the built-in trial token. We use uvx for a lightning-fast, zero-install experience.

For Claude Desktop (Recommended)

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nooxus-edge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["nooxus-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

(Restart Claude Desktop. You will see the 🔨 hammer icon indicating Nooxus tools are loaded.)

🔄 How to Force Upgrade

Because the uv package manager uses aggressive local caching for speed, you might not get the newest update immediately even with the @latest tag. To force an upgrade to the newest version, open your terminal and run:

uvx --refresh nooxus-mcp@latest --version

🎯 The Playbook (How to trigger the Sourcing Agent)

To guarantee the AI uses the verified database and renders the professional UI, always start your prompts with our cheat code: Use Nooxus |

1. Market Scanning & Discovery

"Use Nooxus | I am looking for verified suppliers of 'terminal testing equipment' in Nanjing. Please search your network."

2. The Deep-Dive Forensic Audit (Killer Feature 🔥)

"Use Nooxus | Give me a deep-dive forensic audit on this node: NOO-PFJ77WGLNYHRXDZE. Show me the red flags and trust scores."

🔑 Advanced: Upgrading Your Quota

Once you exhaust the generous daily limits of the global trial key, you can seamlessly plug in your own developer API key for unlimited deep-dive audits.

1. Register for free at SmartGSC.com or Nooxus.com.
2. Generate your NOOXUS_API_KEY.
3. Update your MCP config by adding the env block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nooxus-edge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["nooxus-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "NOOXUS_API_KEY": "your_personal_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

🔍 Available AI Tools (Under the hood)

1. semantic_search_nooxus(query): Lightning-fast semantic search optimized for manufacturing entities. Returns potential partners and their NOO-IDs.
2. get_nooxus_node(noo_id): Retrieves the full verification profile. Triggers Strategy D to force the AI to act as a Risk Analyst and render a visual warning dashboard.

👨‍💻 Developer & Troubleshooting

1. Command Line Testing (MCP Inspector)

Use the official inspector to visualize and test tools in your browser without Claude:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx --refresh nooxus-mcp

2. Local Debug Mode

To generate a local log file mcp-logs.txt for deep troubleshooting:

NOOXUS_DEBUG=true uvx nooxus-mcp

3. macOS Path Conflicts (realpath missing)

If you encounter realpath: command not found on older macOS versions:

brew install coreutils
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
