Setup steps depend on your cloud deployment. Choose your cloud below.

Nekt Express

Step 1: Enable the MCP Server

Go to Integrations → MCP Server and click Configure. Then, Enable MCP Server. Nekt will provision the server automatically.

Step 2: Create tokens

Once the server is active, go to the MCP Tokens section and create one or more access tokens. Each token can be scoped to a specific set of tables, or granted full access based on the creating user’s permissions.If you connect via OAuth and don’t have any tokens yet, one will be automatically created with the same permissions as your user account.

Step 1: Enable the MCP Server

Go to Settings → Cloud and click Enable MCP Server. The server is provisioned as a Google Cloud Run Service in your GCP project.

Step 2: Create tokens

Once the server is active, go to the MCP Tokens section and create one or more access tokens. Each token can be scoped to a specific set of tables, or granted full access based on the creating user’s permissions.If you connect via OAuth and don’t have any tokens yet, one will be automatically created with the same permissions as your user account.

Step 1: Enable the MCP Server

Go to Settings → Cloud and click Enable MCP Server. Enter the full domain you want to use as your MCP server endpoint — for example, mcp.company.co, not just company.co.

Step 2: Verify the HTTPS certificate

Add the CNAME record provided by Nekt to your DNS provider to validate the HTTPS certificate. Allow 5–10 minutes for verification.

Step 3: Add the MCP URL to your DNS

Still in your DNS provider, add the second CNAME record to point your custom domain to the MCP server. Allow an additional 5–10 minutes for this to propagate.Your MCP server is now live.

Step 4: Create tokens

Go to the MCP Tokens section and create one or more access tokens. Each token can be scoped to a specific set of tables, or granted full access based on the creating user’s permissions.If you connect via OAuth and don’t have any tokens yet, one will be automatically created with the same permissions as your user account.

Infrastructure

Nekt Express

Managed by Nekt and billed through your Nekt credits.
The MCP Server runs on Google Cloud Run in your GCP project. Costs are based on Cloud Run’s per-second billing model for CPU and memory while instances are active. With typical usage, expect approximately $20–25/month. The server scales to zero when idle, so actual costs depend on how often it handles requests.Services used:See Cloud Run pricing for current rates in your region.
The MCP Server runs on AWS Fargate in your AWS account as an always-on service. In us-east-1, the fixed cost is approximately $34/month.Services used:Costs vary by AWS region.

Prerequisites
