Aura MCP

Aura MCP — Aura control-plane Claude skill

Drive your Aura agency control plane from Claude — approvals, snapshots, connections, runs — over MCP. Not the managed sites (the fleet's other tools already do those): Aura itself. See what's queued for approval, inspect actions and runs, list rollback points and provider connections, reject or (opt-in) approve pending writes, and roll back a page or a whole run — from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor.

The short version: mint a management token in Aura, point an MCP client at the Aura fleet gateway, and Claude can now govern your agency — with every action scoped, gated, and audited exactly as it is in the Aura UI. This is a thin connector: nothing to install, no server to run. All the governance lives in Aura's gateway (the single enforcement point).

Requires an Aura account (app.my-aura.app). Unlike the other family skills, aura-mcp has no standalone value — it governs the fleet the others operate on.

Part of the Aura Design Engine

These are the skills behind Aura — one AI web-agency lifecycle you can run standalone or orchestrate across a whole client fleet from a single dashboard.

Stage	Skill	Role
🎨 Build	siteagent-elementor-studio	Design & build sites inside Elementor
🔎 Audit + Content	wordpress-api-pro	REST content ops, SEO & site audits
🖥 Host	cloudways-mcp · hostinger-mcp	Provision & operate the infrastructure
🛡 Govern	aura-mcp ← you are here	Drive the agency control plane — approvals, snapshots, rollbacks — over MCP

The others acquire and operate; aura-mcp is the capstone — it governs the whole fleet from your editor.

Quickstart

1. Mint a management token — Aura → Fleet → Agent Tokens → check "allow manage" (canManage). Copy the aura_… token (shown once).

2. Wire an MCP client — point it at the gateway with the token:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "aura": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://app.my-aura.app/api/mcp/fleet",
         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer aura_YOUR_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Zero-config alternative: the repo commits a placeholder-only .mcp.json that reads the token from the AURA_MCP_TOKEN environment variable — set it in your shell (devices) or in the claude.ai cloud environment's env vars (web/phone sessions) and the connection authenticates on its own. While the variable is unset the connection just shows as unavailable in /mcp (it can't authenticate) — set the var to bring it up. Real tokens never go into the file — it is tracked in git.

3. Verify — ask Claude to run aura__client_summary. Counts back = connected.
