• host_delete_project: Completely remove a project and its assets.

📄 Resources (URI)

Core Resources (Static):

• mcp://nexus/docs/list: Index of shared documents.

• mcp://nexus/meetings/list: List of active and closed meetings.

• mcp://nexus/session: Current session status and identity.

• mcp://nexus/status: System operational status and storage mode.

• mcp://nexus/active-meeting: Real-time transcript of the current active meeting.

Resource Templates (Use registry to discover IDs):

• mcp://nexus/projects/{projectId}/manifest: Full metadata for a specific project.

• mcp://nexus/projects/{projectId}/internal-docs: Internal technical docs for a project.

• mcp://nexus/docs/{docId}: Read a specific shared document.

• mcp://nexus/meetings/{meetingId}: Full transcript for a specific meeting.

🌐 Global Hub Architecture

v0.3.0 introduces a fully automatic, zero-configuration collaboration architecture:

• Zero Config: Just run npx @datafrog-io/n2n-nexus - no --id or --host required.

• Immediate Handshake: Stdio connects instantly (<10ms) for static requests (tools/list), buffering dynamic requests until election completes.

• Parallel Election: Concurrent port scanning ensures Host/Guest resolution in <300ms.

• Hot Failover: If Host disconnects, a Guest automatically promotes itself to Host and others reconnect.

🚀 Quick Start

MCP Configuration (Recommended)

Add to your MCP config file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "n2n-nexus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@datafrog-io/n2n-nexus"]
    }
  }
}

Zero-Config: No --id or --host needed. Just run and collaborate!

"args": ["-y", "@datafrog-io/n2n-nexus"]

### 💾 Data Persistence (Zero-Config)

Nexus now automatically stores data in your system's standard **User Data Directory** (XDG Base Directory). This ensures your meeting history and projects persist across IDE restarts, `npx` cache clears, and updates.

- **Linux / WSL**: `~/.local/share/n2n-nexus`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\n2n-nexus`
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/n2n-nexus`

> **Note for WSL Users**: To maximize I/O performance, WSL instances store data in the Linux file system (`~/.local/share`), while Windows instances use `%APPDATA%`. Data is **isolated** between environments to prevent database corruption and performance degradation.

### CLI Arguments
| Argument | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| Argument | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `--root` | Override storage path (advanced use only) | System User Data Dir |

> **Note:** Host identity and Instance ID are determined automatically based on the project folder name and startup order.

### Local Development
```bash
git clone https://github.com/n2ns/n2n-nexus.git
cd n2n-nexus
npm install
npm run build
npm start -- --root ./my-storage

📋 Real-World Example: Multi-AI Collaboration

The following files demonstrate a real orchestration session where 4 AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Augment) collaborated to design and implement an authentication system and Edge-Sync Protocol:

Highlights from this session:

• 🔐 OAuth authentication chain debugging across 4 projects

• 📜 Edge-Sync Protocol v1.1.1 design with RSA signatures and epoch control

• ✅ All integration tests passed (Gateway, Backbone, Hub, Nexus Core)

• 🏗️ Manifest Schema v2.0 with apiDependencies tracking

This is what AI-native development looks like.
