What it does

Nora is a self-hosted platform for running and operating fleets of OpenClaw and Hermes agents on Docker or Kubernetes. It deploys agents, runs their lifecycle, collects logs and traces, counts metrics and cost, sets budgets with auto-pause and run schedules. Provider secrets are stored encrypted. The `@noraai/mcp-server` package exposes the same public REST API as MCP tools. Through it an agent in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop or Cursor manages the fleet: it checks status, restarts and redeploys agents. For Gemini CLI an extension exists that asks for the Nora address and a workspace key.

Who it is for. Teams that keep OpenClaw or Hermes agents on Docker or Kubernetes and want to run the fleet from chat.

Good fit when

  • An agent in Claude Code checks which runs are stuck or over budget
  • An agent has to be restarted or redeployed without opening the web interface
  • Workspace state and logs are checked from Gemini CLI
  • Per-agent spend has to be summed before month end

Not a fit when

  • The Nora platform is not deployed
  • You just want to run a single agent with no control plane
  • Workspace key permissions cannot be trusted to automation

Example request

Show agents that are over budget or have stalled telemetry and restart the one that hangs

Environment variables

NORA_API_URL required
Address of the Nora instance
NORA_API_KEY required, secret
Nora workspace key

Limitations

A running Nora instance is required, with its address in `NORA_API_URL` and a workspace key in `NORA_API_KEY`. The platform needs Docker Engine with Compose v2, and for the `setup.sh` install through `curl | bash` read the script first. The key opens actions on the workspace agents, and the interactive terminal and file editor are available to operators separately. Some features, including Proxmox LXC and the NemoClaw sandbox, are marked experimental.

How to disable. Remove the server with `claude mcp remove nora` and revoke the workspace key in Nora.

FAQ

How do I connect Nora MCP to Claude Code?

Run `claude mcp add nora --env NORA_API_URL=https://your-nora.example.com --env NORA_API_KEY=nora_... -- npx -y @noraai/mcp-server`.

And from Gemini CLI?

Run `gemini extensions install https://github.com/solomon2773/nora`. The installer asks for the Nora address and stores the workspace key as a sensitive setting.

What is Nora?

A self-hosted agent operations platform: Docker and Kubernetes deployment, logs and traces, metrics and cost, budgets, schedules, RBAC and an API.

Which agents are supported?

The OpenClaw and Hermes runtimes, both on Docker and Kubernetes. An experimental mode exists for Proxmox LXC.

Can agent spend be capped?

Yes, the platform sets hard per-agent LLM budgets and pauses the agent when they are exceeded.
