Connect to NFN's MCP server over OAuth
Our MCP server now authenticates over OAuth. Approve access once in your browser and your client connects, with no API keys to copy or paste. Works across Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients, with a one-command plugin for Claude Code.
The MCP server now supports standards-based OAuth for authentication. Previously, to connect to our MCP server you needed to generate an API key and paste it into your tool or a config file. Now you can simply approve access once in your browser and the client will connect on its own. The client registers itself, stores the token securely, and handles renewal — there is no key to copy, store, or rotate by hand.
We're following the standard MCP authorization flow, so it should work the same way across clients. Most MCP-capable tools can connect by pointing to our MCP server URL and completing the browser-based sign-in:
https://nordicfinancialnews.com/mcp
In Claude Desktop, open Customize → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, enter that URL with a name, click Add, then authorize the connection in your browser. Cursor, Codex, and VS Code follow the same pattern through their own MCP connector settings.
For Claude Code, we've packaged the connection into a Claude plugin, so setup is two commands and a sign-in:
/plugin marketplace add nordic-financial-news/nfn-plugin
/plugin install nordic-financial-news@nordic-financial-news
/mcp
Running /mcp opens the browser to sign in and choose which account to connect. Once approved, the full set of tools is available — search and retrieval for articles, stories, companies, and calendar events, reference data, and access to your watchlists.
Static API keys still work for the REST API and for any client that doesn't support OAuth. You can review or disconnect any connection under Settings → Connected Applications.
