# nebu-ctx
Rust runtime client for the `nebu-ctx` MCP, host, and dashboard stack.
Homepage: <https://nebu-ctx.com>
## Install
```bash
cargo binstall nebu-ctx
```
This downloads the prebuilt lightweight client binary with `cargo-binstall` when available. If you do not have cargo-binstall yet, install it using the instructions at <https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall>. If `cargo binstall nebu-ctx` is unavailable or no matching artifact exists, use the published release asset instead. If you prefer a source-build fallback, use `cargo install nebu-ctx`.
On Windows, the published crate keeps the `rust-lld` override so the packaged install path does not depend on Visual Studio Build Tools.
## Local install from source
```bash
cargo install --path client --bin nebu-ctx --force
```
## What it does
- Started from an earlier practical client surface and was reshaped into the current `nebu-ctx` runtime client.
- Connects to a running `nebu-ctx` host over HTTP with `nebu-ctx connect`.
- Supports local runtime tools plus server-backed tools such as `ctx_brain` against shared PostgreSQL-backed server state.
