Introduction
Welcome to the Nexus Suite documentation. Nexus Suite is a local-first AI coding platform consisting of:
- NexusCore — A Python CLI agent runtime with 22 tools, swarm mode, skills, MCP support, plugins, checkpoints, and memory. Open source under MIT license.
- NexusIDE — A Code-OSS based IDE with an integrated agent panel, inline edits, checkpoints, and MCP discovery.
- Nexus Suite Portal — A web application at nexus-suite.dev for account management, billing, and downloads.
How It Works
NexusCore is the AI agent engine that powers everything. It runs locally on your machine and connects to any LLM provider — local models (Ollama, LM Studio) or cloud APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). You bring your own model, and NexusCore handles the rest.
NexusIDE wraps NexusCore in a full-featured IDE based on Code-OSS, with a chat panel, inline edits, checkpoints, and visual tools for managing models, skills, and MCP servers.
The Nexus Suite Portal at nexus-suite.dev handles account management, subscription billing, and downloads.
