Deploy

Option 1: One-Click Deploy

Click the button above and follow the prompts. You'll be asked to:

Authorize Cloudflare to access your GitHub (fork will be created)
Configure secrets:
- ADMIN_API_TOKEN: Token for admin API access (generate with openssl rand -hex 32)
- KEY_ENCRYPTION_SECRET: Key for encrypting API keys (generate with openssl rand -base64 32)

Option 2: Manual Deploy

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/ykq007/mcp-nexus.git
cd mcp-nexus/packages/worker

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Create D1 database
npx wrangler d1 create mcp-nexus-db
# Copy the database_id from output to wrangler.jsonc

# Set secrets
npx wrangler secret put ADMIN_API_TOKEN
npx wrangler secret put KEY_ENCRYPTION_SECRET

# Run migrations and deploy
npm run deploy

Post-Deployment Setup

After deployment, you need to add API keys and create client tokens.

1. Add Tavily API Keys

curl -X POST https://your-worker.workers.dev/admin/api/tavily-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"label": "Primary Key", "key": "tvly-xxxxx"}'

2. Add Brave API Keys (Optional)

curl -X POST https://your-worker.workers.dev/admin/api/brave-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"label": "Primary Key", "key": "BSAxxxxx"}'

3. Create Client Token

curl -X POST https://your-worker.workers.dev/admin/api/tokens \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"description": "Claude Desktop"}'

Save the returned token - it's only shown once.
