📋 Overview

Nexus is a cutting-edge autonomous AI coding agent built on top of LangChain and LangGraph, designed to revolutionize how developers interact with code. It combines the power of large language models with a sophisticated state machine architecture, enabling it to plan, execute, and iterate on complex coding tasks with minimal human intervention.

Unlike traditional AI assistants, Nexus features:

• Multi-Modal Operations - Switch between CODE, ARCHITECT, and ASK modes for different workflows
• Persistent Context - SQLite-based checkpoint system maintains conversation history across sessions
• MCP Integration - Dynamically loads and manages Model Context Protocol servers for extended capabilities
• Human-in-the-Loop Safety - Optional approval workflow for critical operations
• Real-Time Metrics - Track token usage, latency, and performance across conversations
• Intelligent Tool Execution - Validates and restricts tool usage based on operational mode

✨ Key Features

🧠 Intelligent Agent System

• LangGraph State Machine - Sophisticated workflow management with conditional edges
• Dynamic Tool Loading - Automatic discovery and integration of MCP server tools
• Context-Aware Reasoning - Maintains conversation history with intelligent truncation
• Iterative Planning - Multi-step task execution with configurable iteration limits
• Mode-Based Restrictions - Tool validation and filtering based on current operational mode

🎯 Multi-Modal Operations

CODE Mode (Full Access)

• Complete file system operations (read, write, list)
• Shell command execution with safety checks
• Unrestricted access to all tools and MCP servers
• Ideal for implementation, debugging, and system tasks

ARCHITECT Mode (Planning-Focused)

• File operations restricted to .nexus/plans/ directory
• Enforces architectural planning separation
• Prevents accidental modification of implementation code
• Perfect for design documents, technical specs, and planning

ASK Mode (Research & Conversation)

• Read-only access to information
• No file modifications or shell execution
• MCP tools only for research and analysis
• Optimal for learning, documentation, and Q&A

Loading

Agent Workflow

1. User Input - Message entered via Rich CLI interface
2. State Initialization - Current state loaded from SQLite checkpoint
3. Agent Reasoning - LLM processes input with system prompt and context
4. Tool Selection - Agent decides which tools to use based on mode
5. Approval (Optional) - Human approval requested for tool execution
6. Tool Execution - Selected tools execute with validated parameters
7. State Update - New state persisted to checkpoint database
8. Response Streaming - Real-time token streaming back to user
9. Metrics Logging - Performance data saved to metrics database

MCP Integration

Supported MCP Servers

Nexus works with any MCP-compliant server:

• @upstash/context7-mcp - Documentation retrieval
• @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem - File system access
• @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres - PostgreSQL integration
• @modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search - Web search
• @modelcontextprotocol/server-github - GitHub integration
• Any custom MCP server

Adding MCP Servers

1. Install MCP server globally or locally
2. Add to .nexus/mcp_config.json
3. Restart Nexus
4. Tools automatically available

Example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Performance Metrics

Metrics are automatically tracked and stored in .nexus/db/metrics.db:

• Request Latency - Total time for request
• Time to First Token (TTFT) - Time until streaming starts
• Token Usage - Input, output, and cached tokens
• Session Summaries - Aggregated statistics per thread

View metrics:

/metrics

2. Dangerous Pattern Detection - Blocks harmful shell commands
3. Path Restrictions - Enforces directory boundaries in ARCHITECT mode
4. Gitignore Compliance - Respects .gitignore in file operations
5. Output Truncation - Prevents context overflow from large outputs
6. Mode Validation - Tools validated against current operational mode

Dangerous Patterns Blocked

rm -rf /                    # Recursive deletion from root
:(){ :|:& };:               # Fork bomb
mkfs                        # Filesystem creation

Approval Workflow

When APPROVAL_REQUIRED=true:

   • Enables resuming conversations
   • Thread-based organization

2. .nexus/db/metrics.db

   • Performance metrics
   • Token usage tracking
   • Request latency data
