Build a source shortlist with Novada

A suggested sequence using the documented tools. Check the connected server's tool schema before making a call.

1. Check account readiness

   Validate the configured key and inspect available account capacity before planning repeated requests.

   Tools: novada_setup

   Sources: Novada MCP package setup guide

2. Inspect this connection’s tool catalog

   Confirm that the required operation is available on the chosen profile. Treat local-only operations as a different setup choice.

   Tools: novada_discover

   Sources: Novada MCP tool reference

3. Find candidate sources

   Search for a focused question, then select relevant source URLs before fetching their content.

   Tools: novada_search

   Sources: Novada MCP tool reference

4. Read the selected pages

   Extract the shortlisted URLs and retain their source links with your notes. Use browser actions only if the task actually requires page interaction.

   Tools: novada_extract, novada_browser

   Sources: Novada MCP tool reference

Troubleshoot the connection

Limits & undocumented behavior

• Hosted and local connections expose different tools. Call novada_discover on the chosen connection instead of relying on a fixed tool count.
• Persistent browser flows and some account-changing operations require the local server. Available operations must be checked on that profile.
• Proxy connection output is used by your own HTTP client; it does not make arbitrary HTTP traffic flow through the MCP protocol.
• The example uses an Authorization header for clients supporting remote headers. Query-string credential alternatives in the provider guide should not be shared.
