Nlarj MCP — for any AI

Connect your church to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity, or any MCP-compatible assistant. Ask about members, events, prayers, and analytics — and take action — in plain language, on live data.

Once connected, ask things like:

"How's our church doing this week?"
"Who's waiting to join? Approve the new ones."
"Create a prayer meeting for Friday at 7 PM."
"Any flagged prayers that need moderation?"
"Post an announcement about Sunday's service."

Kingdom Plan — free trial included

AI Connect is part of the Kingdom Plan and works during your free trial, with nothing extra to set up. You must be a church admin to connect.

The Nlarj MCP URL

Copy this — you'll paste it into your AI app in Step 2:

https://mcp.nlarj.app

Connect in 3 steps

Pick your app, then follow the three steps top to bottom. Each step says which app to do it in.

Claude
ChatGPT
Cursor
Claude Code
Perplexity

Step 1 — Copy the URL

https://mcp.nlarj.app

Step 2 — Add the connector · in Claude

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

Name: Nlarj
URL: paste the URL from Step 1
Client ID / Secret: leave blank

Click Add. Claude shows a QR code and a short confirmation code.

Step 3 — Approve it · in the Nlarj for Churches app

Go to Settings → API Tokens → Connect an AI app, then:

Tap Scan the QR code (or Get a code to paste if Claude is on this same phone).
Check the confirmation code matches the one Claude showed.
Pick your church and tap Approve.

✅ Done — your church tools now appear in Claude.

Step 1 — Copy the URL

https://mcp.nlarj.app

Step 2 — Add the connector · in ChatGPT

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

Name: Nlarj
URL: paste the URL from Step 1
Leave the auth fields blank

Click Add. ChatGPT shows a QR code and a short confirmation code.

Step 3 — Approve it · in the Nlarj for Churches app

Go to Settings → API Tokens → Connect an AI app, then:

Tap Scan the QR code (or Get a code to paste).
Check the confirmation code matches.
Pick your church and tap Approve.

✅ Done — your church tools now appear in ChatGPT.

Cursor reads a local config file, so it uses an API token — not the QR flow.

Step 1 — Create a token · in the Nlarj for Churches app

Go to Settings → API Tokens → New Token. Label it Cursor, pick a 1–7 day expiry, tap Generate, and copy it once (it starts with ohlmcp_ and is shown only once).

Step 2 — Add it · in Cursor

Go to Settings → MCP Servers → Add, and paste your token in:

{
  "nlarj": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@nlarj/mcp-server", "--token", "ohlmcp_YOUR_TOKEN"]
  }
}

Step 3 — Reload Cursor

Your church tools appear. Needs Node.js 18+.

Config-based, like Cursor — use an API token, not the QR flow.

Step 1 — Create a token · in the Nlarj for Churches app

Go to Settings → API Tokens → New Token and copy it once (starts with ohlmcp_).

Step 2 — Add it · in your terminal

claude mcp add nlarj -- npx -y @nlarj/mcp-server --token ohlmcp_YOUR_TOKEN

Or edit .claude/mcp.json by hand:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nlarj": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@nlarj/mcp-server", "--token", "ohlmcp_YOUR_TOKEN"]
    }
  }
}

Step 3 — Restart Claude Code

Needs Node.js 18+.

Perplexity connects directly over HTTPS — no install. Custom connectors work inside Perplexity Spaces only (not regular chat).

Step 1 — Create a token · in the Nlarj for Churches app

Go to Settings → API Tokens → New Token and copy it once (starts with ohlmcp_).

Step 2 — Add the connector · in Perplexity

Go to Connectors → Add Custom Connector and fill in:

Field	Value
Name	`Nlarj`
MCP Server URL	`https://mcp.nlarj.app/mcp`
Authentication (Advanced)	`API Key` → api-key = your token
Transport (Advanced)	`Streamable HTTP`

Check "I understand custom connectors can introduce risks" and click Add.

Step 3 — Enable it in a Space

Open a Space → Settings → Connectors, turn on Nlarj, and chat inside that Space.

Only approve what you started

Approve a QR or code only if you started the connection yourself and the confirmation code matches the one on your own screen. Never scan or paste a code that someone sent you — that would give them access to your church.

What the connection can do — and can't

It acts with your admin access on the one church you pick, never more. Disconnect it anytime under Settings → API Tokens → Connected AI apps — access stops on the connector's next call. If your role or plan changes, access stops within about 15 minutes.

On Claude Code, Codex, or another config-based client? The token method (see the Cursor / Claude Code tabs) is the smoother path — no browser round-trip. The Claude and ChatGPT apps use the QR connector above.

In-app approval	The Claude/ChatGPT connector is approved from your phone — nothing to copy or store
SHA-256 token hashing	API tokens are stored as hashes; the raw value only exists in your config file
Rate limiting	Max 60 requests per minute per token
Short expiry	API tokens last 1–7 days, auto-expire, and can be revoked anytime
Tenant isolation	Each connection/token is scoped to one church; no cross-church access
E2E chat privacy	Group chat messages are encrypted — not exposed through MCP
Input sanitization	HTML is stripped, SSRF is blocked, only whitelisted fields accepted

Token hygiene

Create a separate token per AI client (one for Claude Desktop, another for Cursor, etc.)
Use short expiry (1–3 days) unless you have a persistent setup
Revoke tokens for clients you stop using — Settings → API Tokens → Delete
If a device is lost or compromised, revoke every token on it immediately
Never paste tokens in chat, email, tickets, or screenshots

See Phishing & Security for more.

Troubleshooting

"Invalid or expired token" — Token expired, was revoked, or was typed incorrectly. Tokens start with ohlmcp_. Create a new one.

"IP mismatch. Revoke and create a new token." — The token was auto-bound to a different IP on first use. Revoke this token and create a new one from the current machine.

"Rate limit exceeded. Max 60 calls per minute." — You (or the AI) are hammering the API. Wait a minute and retry, or split work across multiple tokens.

The Claude/ChatGPT connector won't approve — Make sure you're a church admin on an active Kingdom Plan (or trial), and that the confirmation code matches. Start the connection again if the code expired.

Tools don't appear in Claude Desktop — Fully quit and relaunch Claude Desktop. MCP servers are only loaded at startup, not on config reload.

npx hangs or fails — Check node --version is 18 or higher. On Windows, make sure Node is on your PATH.
