Nexus FAQs

Question 1

How does Nexus provide persistent memory to Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Nexus automatically logs every conversation's activities, decisions, blockers, and outcomes. It also injects rich ambient telemetry at session start, ensuring Claude has immediate access to your project's current state, recent sessions, and key decisions.

Question 2

What is Nexus and how does it help Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Nexus is a local-first 'metabrain' for Claude Code that provides persistent memory, a dynamic Knowledge Graph, and an optional strategic AI advisor. It helps Claude remember project context, decisions, and tasks across sessions, making AI-assisted development more continuous and efficient.

Question 3

What are the '26 native MCP tools' Nexus offers?

Accepted Answer

These are built-in tools (Model Context Protocol) that Claude Code can directly call, without needing shell-outs or CLI commands. They enable Claude to interact with Nexus's memory, graph, and planner, for actions like `nexus_create_task`, `nexus_record_decision`, `nexus_brief`, or `nexus_get_blast_radius`.

Question 4

Do I need a local AI model like LM Studio for Nexus to work?

Accepted Answer

Most of Nexus's core features (22 tools) work standalone without any external AI model. AI-powered features, such as the 'Local AI Overseer' for strategic analysis, planning, and code audits, optionally leverage local models like LM Studio for advanced capabilities.

Question 5

Is Nexus cloud-dependent, and where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

No, Nexus is entirely local-first with zero cloud dependencies. All your project data, including session logs and the Knowledge Graph, is stored securely on your local machine at `~/.nexus/nexus.json`. No servers, no accounts, no external services.
