NeuroAli is a local MCP server for Neuro services. It brings content, event logs, files, messaging, identities, contracts, and payments into one process. Use it when your MCP client supports launching a local server with the STDIO transport. Your client communicates with the process through standard input and output.

​
What you need

  • Git and the .NET 8 SDK to build the project.
  • A client that can launch a local STDIO MCP server.
  • A writable working directory for NeuroAli’s local data and logs.
  • The Neuron host and account access required by the tools you plan to use.

​
1. Clone and build

The output directory contains NeuroAli.dll and its dependencies. Keep these files together. The project targets .NET 8; the machine running it needs the corresponding runtime.

​
2. Configure the client

Add a local MCP server using these settings: Let the client launch and manage the process. List its tools to check the connection, then complete any account setup requested by the tool you want to use. The local STDIO connection does not use the hosted Neuron OAuth connection profile. Its tools still need the relevant Neuron account and identity permissions.

​
Local HTTP option

NeuroAli also starts an HTTP server on port 8080 by default. A client on the same machine can use Streamable HTTP at http://localhost:8080/MCP, or one of the individual paths in the server list. Keep access to this local service restricted to the intended machine and client. The NeuroAli README describes its data directories and local interfaces.
