Practical overview
When it fits
Use EvoNexus when you want a CLI-based multi-agent workspace for recurring business or engineering tasks, and can provide the required AI CLI setup and credentials.
Who it is for
- Teams seeking to organize recurring business workflows across specialized AI agents.
- Developers who want a Claude Code-based workspace with engineering agents and a dashboard.
- Operators who want a local interface for reviewing routines, reports, tasks and agent definitions.
Documented uses
- Coordinate business and engineering work across specialized agents.
- Run scheduled daily, weekly or monthly routines and review generated reports.
- Use listed integrations for workflows involving calendars, email, project tools or messaging.
- Manage agents, skills, tasks and provider settings from a local dashboard.
Requirements & limits
The repository describes EvoNexus as open source and displays an Apache-2.0 license badge. Users must provide their own Claude Code installation and credentials; Docker and CLI setup have different documented prerequisites.
- The primary interface is CLI-based, with a web dashboard described at localhost:8080.
- CLI setup requires Claude Code, Python 3.11+, Node.js 18+ and uv; Docker setup requires Docker Engine 24+.
- Claude is the default backend; the README lists other providers through OpenClaude.
- The project is explicitly unofficial and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
- The README describes 38 specialized agents, more than 190 skills, and core and custom routines.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Start EvoNexus with Docker
Launch the documented Docker setup and open its first-boot wizard.
Before you start
- Docker Engine 24 or later
- An Anthropic, OpenAI or Codex key for the wizard
Steps
Download docker-compose.hub.yml from the repository using the documented curl command.
Run docker compose -f docker-compose.hub.yml up -d.
Open http://localhost:8080 and follow the first-boot setup wizard.
Expected outcome
The local dashboard opens with the setup wizard ready for provider credentials.
Guide limitations
- The README's quick-start describes this route as Docker-based; it does not document the full configuration or workflow execution in this guide.
- Users must provide their own installation and credentials.
Run the CLI setup wizard from a clone
Clone the repository and start its interactive setup wizard.
Before you start
- Claude Code CLI
- Python 3.11 or later
- Node.js 18 or later
- uv
Steps
Clone the repository with the documented shallow-clone command.
Change into the evo-nexus directory.
Run make setup to open the interactive setup wizard.
Expected outcome
The interactive setup wizard starts from the local repository checkout.
Guide limitations
- The README lists these prerequisites for CLI installation; this recipe does not cover later agent tasks or deployment.
