NodeSpace

Faster context. Fewer tokens.

AI coding assistants forget everything between sessions. NodeSpace gives them persistent, searchable access to your project knowledge — so you stop re-explaining your codebase every time you start a conversation.

⚠️ Alpha Preview — NodeSpace is in early development. Features may change and data formats are not yet stable.

Why NodeSpace

Developers using AI assistants waste time copying files, re-explaining architecture, and watching context degrade mid-session. NodeSpace fixes this by sitting between your knowledge and your AI tools:

• 80% fewer roundtrips — AI agents query your knowledge base via MCP instead of scanning files with grep/ripgrep
• Runs entirely on your machine — no cloud accounts, no API calls, no data leaving localhost
• Works offline — on planes, behind VPNs, anywhere

You write things down once. Every AI tool you use can find them instantly.

Installation

Download the Desktop App

Build from Source

Prerequisites:

• Bun 1.0+ — curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
• Rust 1.80+ — curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

git clone https://github.com/NodeSpaceAI/nodespace-core
cd nodespace-core
bun install
bun run tauri:dev

MCP Setup

NodeSpace includes a built-in MCP server that starts automatically when you open the app. Your AI tools connect to it locally — there's nothing to deploy or host.

Claude Code / Cursor / Codex / Other MCP Clients

Add to your MCP settings (e.g., ~/.claude.json for Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nodespace": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3100/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Running Tests

bun run test          # Fast unit tests (Happy-DOM)
bun run test:browser  # Browser integration tests (Playwright)
bun run test:all      # All tests (unit + browser + Rust)
bun run rust:test     # Rust backend tests only
