NEXUS AI

Full-stack application platform. Deploy full-stack apps from a prompt, a repo, or a CLI. Your AI agent runs the rest.

---

What is NEXUS AI?

NEXUS AI is an Full-stack application platform that deploys full-stack containerized applications (app code, Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, Redis, S3-compatible buckets, persistent volumes, background workers, encrypted backups) in about 5 minutes. Every platform action is callable as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool, so Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP-compatible agent can deploy, scale, back up, restore, query the database, and roll back without leaving the chat or IDE.

The problem it solves. AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Bolt, Lovable, and Replit can generate working application code in minutes. Getting that code into production still requires the rest of a real stack: a database, a queue, storage, secrets, scaling, health checks, backups, rollbacks. NEXUS AI is the deploy layer that closes that gap and exposes every operation to the agent that wrote the code.

In one sentence. Describe what you want to build, ship to a public HTTPS URL with Postgres + Redis + S3 in 5 minutes, then let your AI agent operate the stack on your behalf.

---

How It Works

Three equivalent ways to deploy the same app. Pick one or use all three.

PROMPT
  Tell Claude in chat: "Deploy this repo with Postgres, Redis,
  and a bucket called user-uploads."
  → The agent calls nexusai_deploy_source + nexusai_bucket_create
    + nexusai_bucket_attach + nexusai_deploy_redeploy.
  → Live URL in ~5 minutes.

REPO
  nexus deploy source \
    --repo https://github.com/you/my-app.git \
    --framework python \
    --services postgresql,redis \
    --bucket user-uploads --wait

DASHBOARD
  Click through the same operations at https://nexusai.run/app.
  Same engine, same result.

After deploy, the agent (or you) operates the running stack: stream logs, scale replicas, snapshot the database, restore from backup, run a sandboxed SQL query, apply an AI-proposed schema fix, roll back to a previous release. Every action is an MCP tool, a CLI command, and a dashboard button.

Core Features

Full-stack deploys in one command

Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, Redis, S3-compatible buckets, persistent volumes, background workers, and your app code. Wired together by one nexus deploy and live at a public HTTPS URL in 5 minutes. Framework detection covers FastAPI, Flask, Django, Express, Next.js, Rails, Laravel, Symfony, PHP, Ruby, Go, Java, and any container.

Operated by your AI agent

59 MCP tools cover the full lifecycle. Connect the NEXUS AI MCP server (https://api.zollo.live/mcp) to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP client. The same agent that generated the code can deploy, scale, back up, restore, query the database, and roll back. Listed on the official MCP Registry at io.github.nexusrun/nexus-ai.

Persistent storage with real IAM

Org-scoped volumes that survive container restarts, redeploys, and host reboots. Multi-attach S3-compatible buckets backed by MinIO, each with its own scoped IAM service account (not platform-wide root credentials). Per-bucket credential rotation, signed download URLs (30 seconds to 1 hour TTL), streaming uploads.

Database intelligence layer

Connect external Postgres, MySQL, or Mongo databases. Inspect schemas (cached for 5 minutes). Preview queries with EXPLAIN + safety analysis. Execute sandboxed SELECT statements with statement timeouts and row caps. Apply AI-proposed DDL fixes generated from runtime error logs (with review and audit).

Encrypted backups, signed downloads

Scheduled or on-demand backups for Postgres (pg_dump), MySQL (mysqldump), Mongo (mongodump), and Redis (BGSAVE). Encrypted at rest. Download via short-lived signed URLs (TTL 30s to 1h) or restore directly. Cross-deployment restore (seed staging from production) supported.

Production-safe lifecycle

Soft stop preserves containers, networks, volumes, and the port reservation so the next start brings everything back. Boot reconciliation restarts deployments the host reboot did not bring back. Versioned rollback in seconds. Replica count preserved across restart.

Three deploy paths, one engine

Dashboard, CLI (nexus deploy), or MCP tool call from your agent. Same engine, same result. Switch between them in the same project without anything getting out of sync.

Multi-cloud single-container deploys

Full-stack deploys run on the NEXUS AI managed Container platform with org-level isolation. Single-container apps can also target AWS App Runner, Google Cloud Run, or Azure Container Apps from the same dashboard, CLI, or MCP call.

Real-time observability

Streaming build and runtime logs over WebSocket. Health checks with configurable endpoints. Tail logs directly from your agent (nexusai_deploy_logs) to triage failures without leaving chat.

Encrypted secrets vault

AES-256-GCM encryption. Injected at container start, never written to images, never returned over the API, never appear in logs. Scoped per organization and environment with full audit trail on every read, write, and deletion.

Role-based access control and tenant isolation

Org-level roles (Owner, Admin, Developer). Per-org isolated runtime, networks, volumes, and S3 buckets. SAML / OIDC SSO available on Enterprise. Independently scoped and revocable API tokens with 23 fine-grained OAuth scopes (deployments:read, db:admin, volumes:manage, buckets:manage, etc.) plus four legacy broad scopes preserved for backward compatibility.

HIPAA-aligned infrastructure

Tenant isolation, encrypted secrets, encrypted backups, scoped per-bucket IAM, full audit logs, customer-owned cloud deployments for Enterprise, BAA available for Healthcare Pro and Enterprise.

Quick Start

1. Install the CLI

macOS

curl -fsSL https://nexusai.run/install-mac.sh | bash

Linux

curl -fsSL https://nexusai.run/install.sh | bash

Authenticate:

nexus auth login nexus auth status

2. Deploy a full-stack app from a Git repo

nexus deploy source
--repo https://github.com/you/my-app.git
--name my-app
--provider docker
--framework python
--services postgresql,redis
--start-command "uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000"
--wait

NEXUS AI builds the container, provisions Postgres + Redis with persistent volumes, opens a public HTTPS URL through Traefik, and starts streaming logs.

3. Attach a bucket for uploads

nexus bucket create user-uploads nexus bucket attach nexus deploy redeploy --wait

Your app receives S3_ENDPOINT, S3_BUCKET, S3_ACCESS_KEY, S3_SECRET_KEY as environment variables. Use any S3 SDK against the scoped per-bucket service account.

4. Operate from your agent

Connect the NEXUS AI MCP server to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex (https://api.zollo.live/mcp). The agent can then run commands like:

"Take a Postgres backup of my-app, run the migration, and roll back if anything fails."

The agent calls nexusai_db_services_list, nexusai_db_backup, then conditionally nexusai_db_restore and nexusai_deploy_rollback, all without you opening a terminal.

Security

• Encryption at rest: AES-256-GCM for all secrets, bucket credentials, and sensitive configuration
• Encryption in transit: TLS 1.2+ enforced across all endpoints
• Tenant isolation: per-organization runtime, networks, volumes, and S3 buckets. No shared application runtime or storage between customer organizations.
• Per-bucket IAM: every S3 bucket ships with a scoped MinIO service account, not platform-wide root credentials. Rotatable via nexusai_bucket_rotate_credentials.
• Zero plaintext credentials: Secrets never appear in code, container images, build logs, or runtime logs
• Audit logging: Every action (deployment, secret access, scope use, backup, restore, config change) logged with timestamp, actor identity (user or agent token name), and result
• RBAC + scoped tokens: Role-based access at organization and deployment level, plus 23 fine-grained OAuth scopes for least-privilege automation
• Private runtimes: Enterprise customers run fully isolated build and runtime environments
• IP allowlisting: Network-level access controls for Enterprise deployments

Frequently Asked Questions

**What is NEXUS AI?**NEXUS AI is an MCP-native application platform that deploys full-stack containerized applications (Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, Redis, S3 buckets, persistent volumes, workers, encrypted backups) in 5 minutes. Every platform action is callable as an MCP tool, so Claude, Cursor, Codex, and any MCP-compatible agent can deploy, scale, back up, restore, query the database, and roll back without leaving the chat.

**Where can I install the NEXUS AI MCP server?**The official MCP Registry lists it at io.github.nexusrun/nexus-ai. Also indexed at mcp.so and Smithery. Direct endpoint: https://api.zollo.live/mcp.

**Which AI tools generate apps that NEXUS AI deploys?**NEXUS AI deploys from any Git repository. Apps generated by Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Bolt, Lovable, Replit, Windsurf, or any other tool work the same way: push the result to GitHub and run nexus deploy source --repo <url>.

**Where do full-stack deploys actually run?**Full-stack deploys (app + databases + storage + workers) run on the NEXUS AI managed Container platform with org-level isolation. Single-container deploys can also target AWS App Runner, Google Cloud Run, or Azure Container Apps.

**Does NEXUS AI require a DevOps team?**No. NEXUS AI is designed so individual developers and small teams can deploy production-grade containerized applications without dedicated DevOps expertise. The platform handles container builds, deployment orchestration, secrets management, health checks, observability, and the database / storage / backup layer.

**Can I deploy from a GitHub repository?**Yes. NEXUS AI supports deployments from GitHub repositories, container images, local source code, or AI-generated code through the same unified workflow.

**Is NEXUS AI HIPAA compliant?**NEXUS AI provides HIPAA-aligned technical safeguards including tenant isolation, AES-256-GCM encrypted secrets, encrypted backups, scoped per-bucket IAM, full audit logs, and customer-owned cloud deployments. BAAs are available for Enterprise and Healthcare Pro plans.

**Can I use my own cloud account?**Yes. Enterprise customers can deploy NEXUS AI entirely within their own AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or on-premises infrastructure with no data leaving their environment.

**How does rollback work?**Every deployment is versioned and immutable. You can restore any previous version with a single click from the deployment dashboard, the CLI (nexus deploy rollback), or an MCP call (nexusai_deploy_rollback). No manual re-deployment or downtime required.

**What happens to my secrets?**Secrets are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and injected at container runtime only. They are never stored in plaintext, never appear in container images, and never appear in build or runtime logs. A full access audit trail is maintained.

**What happens to my data if the host reboots?**Persistent volumes survive container restarts and host reboots. Boot reconciliation restarts any deployments the reboot did not bring back. Postgres / MySQL / Mongo crash recovery happens via their own journaling on next start. Full deep dive: How NEXUS AI keeps your Postgres alive across host reboots.

**How is NEXUS AI different from Vercel, Render, Railway, or Fly.io?**NEXUS AI is the only platform that combines (1) full-stack deploys in one command, (2) 59 MCP tools for AI agents to operate the platform end-to-end, (3) AI-powered database schema fixes from runtime logs, (4) per-bucket IAM out of the box, (5) HIPAA-aligned controls with customer-owned cloud deployments. See the comparison table above.
