What it is

Nimrod gives Claude four research tools:

Why not just let the model search? Because raw search is where agent runs go to

die: Nimrod returns ranked evidence instead of SEO sludge, as

token-efficient markdown instead of raw HTML, with deterministic costs

(1 credit = 1 search) and date/site/language control.

New accounts start with a free 50-credit trial — no card required.

Get connected

Claude.ai & Claude Desktop (zero install): Settings → Connectors → Add

custom connector → paste `https://nimrod.orchis.ai/mcp` → sign in with your

email. Done.

Claude Code (hosted):

claude mcp add nimrod --transport http https://nimrod.orchis.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer nmk_your_key"

Nimrod Desktop (full toolkit — recommended for power users): a locally

installed MCP server with six research skills, a deep-research agent, and

search-coach hooks (Claude Code features). Extraction is free on every plan;

on Desktop it also runs on your own machine, so the pages you read stay

private. Grab it from

**Releases**:

• Windows — `nimrod.mcpb` for Claude Desktop (double-click, paste key),

or `nimrod-desktop.exe` for Claude Code: `nimrod-desktop setup`, then

`claude mcp add nimrod -- path\to\nimrod-desktop.exe`

• macOS — `nimrod-desktop-macos` (universal: Apple Silicon + Intel):

`chmod +x` it, then a one-time

`xattr -d com.apple.quarantine nimrod-desktop-macos` (not yet

Apple-signed), then `setup` and `claude mcp add` as above

• Linux — `nimrod-desktop-linux`: `chmod +x`, `setup`, `claude mcp add`

In the MCP Registry

Nimrod is listed in the official MCP Registry

as `ai.orchis/nimrod` — MCP clients that browse the registry (including

VS Code's MCP gallery) can discover and install it from there.

Built to pair

Run Nimrod beside your other MCP tools — like

Konnect for KiCAD: live parts data from your EDA

workflow, live web research from Nimrod, one agent, no stale training cutoff.
