## Free Self-Learning AI Swarms at the Edge
|
|
|
|
**Build and deploy self-optimizing AI agent swarms that run entirely in web browsers, mobile devices, and edge servers - without paying for cloud infrastructure.**
|
|
|
|
Imagine having dozens of AI agents working together - analyzing data, routing tasks, making decisions, and getting smarter with every interaction - all running directly in your users' browsers. No API costs. No server bills. No data leaving your network. That's what @ruvector/edge makes possible.
|
|
|
|
This library gives you everything you need to build distributed AI systems: cryptographic identity for each agent, encrypted communication between them, lightning-fast vector search for finding the right agent for each task, consensus protocols so your agents can coordinate without a central server, and self-learning neural networks that continuously optimize agent routing based on real-world outcomes. It's all compiled to a tiny 364KB WebAssembly binary that runs anywhere JavaScript runs.
|
|
|
|
**The key insight:** Instead of paying cloud providers to run your AI infrastructure, you use the computing power that's already there - your users' devices. Each browser becomes a node in your swarm. The more users you have, the more powerful your system becomes - and with built-in self-learning capabilities (LoRA fine-tuning, EWC++ continual learning, ReasoningBank experience replay), your swarm gets smarter over time while still costing you nothing.

### Choose Your Package
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Lightweight core (364KB) - P2P, crypto, vectors, consensus
|
|
npm install @ruvector/edge
|
|
|
|
# Full platform (8.4MB) - adds graph DB, SQL, neural routing, ONNX
|
|
npm install @ruvector/edge-full
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using Both Together
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// Start with edge core
|
|
import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmHnswIndex } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
|
|
// Add full capabilities when needed
|
|
import { graph, rvlite, sona, dag } from '@ruvector/edge-full';
|
|
import onnxInit from '@ruvector/edge-full/onnx';
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Consensus Modes: Trusted vs Open
|
|
|
|
RuVector provides two coordination strategies for different deployment scenarios:
|
|
|
|
| Mode | Protocol | When to Use |
|
|
|------|----------|-------------|
|
|
| **Trusted Cohort** | Raft | Private teams, enterprise LANs, known membership, low churn |
|
|
| **Open Swarm** | Gossip + CRDT | Public networks, anonymous browsers, high churn, adversarial environments |
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// Trusted cohort (Raft) - stable team of 3-7 nodes
|
|
const raftNode = new WasmRaftNode('node-1', ['node-1', 'node-2', 'node-3']);
|
|
raftNode.start_election(); // Leader election for consistent state
|
|
|
|
// Open swarm (Gossip + CRDT) - dynamic browser mesh
|
|
const gossipNode = new WasmGossipNode(identity);
|
|
gossipNode.join_swarm(relayUrl); // Eventually consistent, Byzantine-tolerant
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why two modes?** Raft assumes known membership and trusted nodes - perfect for your dev team or enterprise deployment. But a public browser swarm has nodes joining/leaving constantly and can't trust everyone. Gossip protocols with CRDTs handle this gracefully: no leader election, no membership tracking, eventual consistency that converges even with malicious actors.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Web Workers: Keep the UI Responsive
|
|
|
|
Heavy operations (vector search, encryption, neural network inference) run in Web Workers to avoid blocking the main thread. The package includes a ready-to-use worker pool:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import { WorkerPool } from '@ruvector/edge/worker-pool';
|
|
|
|
// Create worker pool (auto-detects CPU cores)
|
|
const pool = new WorkerPool(
|
|
new URL('@ruvector/edge/worker', import.meta.url),
|
|
new URL('@ruvector/edge/ruvector_edge_bg.wasm', import.meta.url),
|
|
{
|
|
poolSize: navigator.hardwareConcurrency,
|
|
dimensions: 384,
|
|
useHnsw: true
|
|
}
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
await pool.init();
|
|
|
|
// Operations run in parallel across workers
|
|
await pool.insert(embedding, 'doc-1', { title: 'Hello' });
|
|
await pool.insertBatch([
|
|
{ vector: emb1, id: 'doc-2' },
|
|
{ vector: emb2, id: 'doc-3' },
|
|
{ vector: emb3, id: 'doc-4' }
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
// Search distributed across workers
|
|
const results = await pool.search(queryEmbedding, 10);
|
|
|
|
// Batch search (each query on different worker)
|
|
const batchResults = await pool.searchBatch([query1, query2, query3], 10);
|
|
|
|
// Pool statistics
|
|
console.log(pool.getStats());
|
|
// { poolSize: 8, busyWorkers: 2, idleWorkers: 6, pendingRequests: 0 }
|
|
|
|
// Clean up
|
|
pool.terminate();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Worker Pool Features:**
|
|
- Round-robin task distribution with load balancing
|
|
- Automatic batch splitting across workers
|
|
- Promise-based API with 30s timeout
|
|
- Zero-copy transfers via transferable objects
|
|
- Works in browsers, Deno, and Cloudflare Workers
|
|

// Vector search (150x faster)
|
|
const index = new WasmHnswIndex(128, 16, 200);
|
|
index.insert("agent-1", new Float32Array(128));
|

|
|
matcher.register_agent("coder", "rust typescript javascript");
|
|
const best = matcher.find_best_agent("write a function");
|
|
```

## Tutorial: Build Your First Swarm
|
|
|
|
This tutorial walks you through building a complete AI agent swarm that runs entirely in browsers with no backend.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir my-swarm && cd my-swarm
|
|
npm init -y
|
|
npm install @ruvector/edge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create `index.html`:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head><title>My AI Swarm</title></head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<div id="status"></div>
|
|
<script type="module" src="swarm.js"></script>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Agent Identity
|
|
|
|
Every agent needs a unique cryptographic identity. This enables signing messages and verifying authenticity.
|
|
|
|
Create `swarm.js`:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmIdentity } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
|
|
async function createAgent(name) {
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
// Generate Ed25519 keypair
|
|
const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
|
|
|
|
console.log(`Agent: ${name}`);
|
|
console.log(` ID: ${identity.agent_id()}`);
|
|
console.log(` Public Key: ${identity.public_key_hex().slice(0, 16)}...`);
|
|
|
|
return identity;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Create our agent
|
|
const myAgent = await createAgent("Worker-001");
|
|
|
|
// Sign a message to prove identity
|
|
const message = new TextEncoder().encode("I am Worker-001");
|
|
const signature = myAgent.sign(message);
|
|
console.log(` Signature: ${signature.slice(0, 8).join(',')}...`);
|
|
|
|
// Verify the signature
|
|
const isValid = myAgent.verify(message, signature);
|
|
console.log(` Valid: ${isValid}`); // true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**What's happening:**
|
|
- `WasmIdentity.generate()` creates an Ed25519 keypair
|
|
- `agent_id()` returns a unique identifier derived from the public key
|
|
- `sign()` creates a cryptographic signature proving the message came from this agent
|
|
- `verify()` checks if a signature is valid
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Secure Communication
|
|
|
|
Agents need to encrypt messages so only intended recipients can read them.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmCrypto } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
const crypto = new WasmCrypto();
|
|
|
|
// Agent A wants to send a secret message to Agent B
|
|
const agentA = WasmIdentity.generate();
|
|
const agentB = WasmIdentity.generate();
|
|
|
|
// Generate a shared secret key (in real app, use key exchange)
|
|
const sharedKey = crypto.generate_key();
|
|
|
|
// Agent A encrypts
|
|
const plaintext = new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify({
|
|
task: "analyze_data",
|
|
payload: { dataset: "sales_2024.csv" }
|
|
}));
|
|
|
|
const ciphertext = crypto.encrypt(sharedKey, plaintext);
|
|
console.log(`Encrypted: ${ciphertext.length} bytes`);
|
|
|
|
// Agent B decrypts
|
|
const decrypted = crypto.decrypt(sharedKey, ciphertext);
|
|
const message = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(decrypted));
|
|
console.log(`Decrypted: ${message.task}`); // "analyze_data"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Security features:**
|
|
- AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption
|
|
- Random nonce per message (replay protection)
|
|
- Ciphertext integrity verification
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Vector Search
|
|
|
|
Agents need to find each other based on capabilities. HNSW enables fast similarity search.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmHnswIndex } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
// Create index: 128 dimensions, M=16 connections, ef=200 search quality
|
|
const index = new WasmHnswIndex(128, 16, 200);
|
|
|
|
// Register agents with their capability embeddings
|
|
// (In production, use real embeddings from a model)
|
|
function mockEmbedding(weights) {
|
|
const vec = new Float32Array(128);
|
|
weights.forEach((w, i) => vec[i] = w);
|
|
return vec;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Register specialized agents
|
|
index.insert("rust-expert", mockEmbedding([0.9, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0]));
|
|
index.insert("python-expert", mockEmbedding([0.1, 0.9, 0.0, 0.0]));
|
|
index.insert("ml-expert", mockEmbedding([0.0, 0.5, 0.9, 0.0]));
|
|
index.insert("devops-expert", mockEmbedding([0.0, 0.0, 0.2, 0.9]));
|
|
|
|
console.log(`Index size: ${index.len()} agents`);
|
|
|
|
// Find best agent for a Rust task
|
|
const rustTask = mockEmbedding([0.85, 0.1, 0.05, 0.0]);
|
|
const results = index.search(rustTask, 3);
|
|
|
|
console.log("Best agents for Rust task:");
|
|
results.forEach(([id, distance]) => {
|
|
console.log(` ${id}: distance=${distance.toFixed(3)}`);
|
|
});
|
|
// Output: rust-expert: distance=0.050
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why HNSW?**
|
|
- O(log n) search instead of O(n)
|
|
- 150x faster than brute force at 10K+ vectors
|
|
- Memory-efficient graph structure

|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Task Routing
|
|
|
|
Route tasks to the best agent using semantic matching.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmSemanticMatcher } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
const matcher = new WasmSemanticMatcher();
|
|
|
|
// Register agents with capability descriptions
|
|
matcher.register_agent("code-agent",
|
|
"rust typescript javascript python programming coding functions classes");
|
|
matcher.register_agent("data-agent",
|
|
"python pandas numpy data analysis statistics csv excel");
|
|
matcher.register_agent("devops-agent",
|
|
"docker kubernetes terraform aws deploy infrastructure cicd");
|
|
matcher.register_agent("writing-agent",
|
|
"documentation markdown readme technical writing blog");
|
|
|
|
console.log(`Registered ${matcher.agent_count()} agents`);
|
|
|
|
// Route tasks to best agent
|
|
const tasks = [
|
|
"Write a Rust function to parse JSON",
|
|
"Analyze the sales data in this CSV",
|
|
"Deploy the app to Kubernetes",
|
|
"Update the API documentation"
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
tasks.forEach(task => {
|
|
const best = matcher.find_best_agent(task);
|
|
console.log(`"${task.slice(0, 30)}..." → ${best}`);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Output:
|
|
// "Write a Rust function..." → code-agent
|
|
// "Analyze the sales data..." → data-agent
|
|
// "Deploy the app to Kube..." → devops-agent
|
|
// "Update the API documen..." → writing-agent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**How it works:**
|
|
- LSH (Locality-Sensitive Hashing) creates semantic fingerprints
|
|
- Tasks are matched to agents by fingerprint similarity
|
|
- Sub-millisecond routing even with many agents
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Distributed Consensus
|
|
|
|
When multiple agents need to agree on a leader or shared state, use Raft consensus.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmRaftNode } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
// Create a 3-node cluster
|
|
const members = ["node-1", "node-2", "node-3"];
|
|
|
|
const node1 = new WasmRaftNode("node-1", members);
|
|
const node2 = new WasmRaftNode("node-2", members);
|
|
const node3 = new WasmRaftNode("node-3", members);
|
|
|
|
console.log(`Node 1 state: ${node1.state()}`); // "follower"
|
|
console.log(`Node 1 term: ${node1.current_term()}`); // 0
|
|
|
|
// Node 1 times out and starts election
|
|
const voteRequest = node1.start_election();
|
|
console.log(`Node 1 state: ${node1.state()}`); // "candidate"
|
|
console.log(`Node 1 term: ${node1.current_term()}`); // 1
|
|
|
|
// Simulate: Node 2 and 3 grant votes
|
|
// (In real app, send voteRequest over network, receive responses)
|
|
const granted1 = node1.receive_vote(true);
|
|
const granted2 = node1.receive_vote(true);
|
|
|
|
console.log(`Node 1 state: ${node1.state()}`); // "leader"
|
|
|
|
// Leader can now coordinate the swarm!
|
|
console.log("Leader elected - swarm can coordinate");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Raft guarantees:**
|
|
- Only one leader at a time
|
|
- Leader election in 1-2 round trips
|
|
- Tolerates f failures in 2f+1 nodes
|

## P2P Transport Options
|
|
|
|
RuVector Edge provides the intelligence layer. You need a transport layer for agents to communicate. Here are your free options:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Option 1: WebRTC (Browser-to-Browser)
|
|
|
|
**Best for:** Direct browser-to-browser communication
|
|
**Cost:** Free (need minimal signaling server)
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmCrypto } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
|
|
const crypto = new WasmCrypto();
|
|
|
|
// Create peer connection
|
|
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection({
|
|
iceServers: [{ urls: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302' }] // Free STUN
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Create data channel for agent messages
|
|
const channel = pc.createDataChannel('swarm');
|
|
|
|
channel.onopen = () => {
|
|
console.log('P2P connection established!');
|
|
|
|
// Send encrypted message
|
|
const key = crypto.generate_key(); // Exchange via signaling
|
|
const message = { type: 'task', data: 'analyze this' };
|
|
const encrypted = crypto.encrypt(key,
|
|
new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(message))
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
channel.send(encrypted);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
channel.onmessage = (event) => {
|
|
const decrypted = crypto.decrypt(key, new Uint8Array(event.data));
|
|
const message = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(decrypted));
|
|
console.log('Received:', message);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Signaling (exchange offer/answer via any method)
|
|
const offer = await pc.createOffer();
|
|
await pc.setLocalDescription(offer);
|
|
// Send offer to peer via signaling server, WebSocket, or even QR code
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Free signaling options:**
|
|
- PeerJS Cloud (free tier)
|
|
- Firebase Realtime Database (free tier)
|
|
- Your own WebSocket on Fly.io/Railway free tier
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Option 2: GUN.js (Decentralized Database)
|
|
|
|
**Best for:** Real-time sync, offline-first, no server needed
|
|
**Cost:** Completely free (public relay network)
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmSemanticMatcher } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
import Gun from 'gun';
|
|
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
|
|
const matcher = new WasmSemanticMatcher();
|
|
|
|
// Connect to public GUN relays (free!)
|
|
const gun = Gun(['https://gun-manhattan.herokuapp.com/gun']);
|
|
|
|
// Create swarm namespace
|
|
const swarm = gun.get('my-ai-swarm');
|
|
|
|
// Register this agent
|
|
swarm.get('agents').get(identity.agent_id()).put({
|
|
id: identity.agent_id(),
|
|
capabilities: 'rust typescript programming',
|
|
publicKey: identity.public_key_hex(),
|
|
online: true,
|
|
timestamp: Date.now()
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Listen for new agents
|
|
swarm.get('agents').map().on((agent, id) => {
|
|
if (agent && agent.id !== identity.agent_id()) {
|
|
console.log(`Discovered agent: ${agent.id}`);
|
|
matcher.register_agent(agent.id, agent.capabilities);
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Publish tasks
|
|
swarm.get('tasks').set({
|
|
id: crypto.randomUUID(),
|
|
description: 'Write a Rust function',
|
|
from: identity.agent_id(),
|
|
timestamp: Date.now()
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Listen for tasks
|
|
swarm.get('tasks').map().on((task) => {
|
|
if (task) {
|
|
const bestAgent = matcher.find_best_agent(task.description);
|
|
if (bestAgent === identity.agent_id()) {
|
|
console.log(`I should handle: ${task.description}`);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why GUN?**
|
|
- No server required - uses public relays
|
|
- Offline-first with automatic sync
|
|
- Real-time updates via WebSocket
|
|
- Already integrated in RuVector Edge (Rust side)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Option 3: IPFS + libp2p
|
|
|
|
**Best for:** Content-addressed storage + P2P messaging
|
|
**Cost:** Free (self-host) or free tier (Pinata, Infura)
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmCrypto } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
import { createLibp2p } from 'libp2p';
|
|
import { webSockets } from '@libp2p/websockets';
|
|
import { noise } from '@chainsafe/libp2p-noise';
|
|
import { gossipsub } from '@chainsafe/libp2p-gossipsub';
|
|
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
|
|
const crypto = new WasmCrypto();
|
|
|
|
// Create libp2p node
|
|
const node = await createLibp2p({
|
|
transports: [webSockets()],
|
|
connectionEncryption: [noise()],
|
|
pubsub: gossipsub()
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
await node.start();
|
|
|
|
// Subscribe to swarm topic
|
|
const topic = 'my-ai-swarm';
|
|
|
|
node.pubsub.subscribe(topic);
|
|
node.pubsub.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
|
|
if (event.detail.topic === topic) {
|
|
const message = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(event.detail.data));
|
|
console.log('Received:', message);
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Publish to swarm
|
|
node.pubsub.publish(topic, new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify({
|
|
from: identity.agent_id(),
|
|
type: 'announce',
|
|
capabilities: ['rust', 'wasm']
|
|
})));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**IPFS for artifacts:**
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import { create } from 'ipfs-http-client';
|
|
|
|
// Use free Infura IPFS gateway
|
|
const ipfs = create({ url: 'https://ipfs.infura.io:5001' });
|
|
|
|
// Store agent output
|
|
const result = await ipfs.add(JSON.stringify({
|
|
task: 'analyze-data',
|
|
output: { summary: '...' },
|
|
agent: identity.agent_id(),
|
|
signature: identity.sign(...)
|
|
}));
|
|
|
|
console.log(`Stored at: ipfs://${result.cid}`);
|
|
|
|
// Share CID with swarm - anyone can fetch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Option 4: Nostr Relays
|
|
|
|
**Best for:** Simple pub/sub with free public infrastructure
|
|
**Cost:** Free (many public relays)
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import init, { WasmIdentity } from '@ruvector/edge';
|
|
import { relayInit, getEventHash, signEvent } from 'nostr-tools';
|
|
|
|
await init();
|
|
|
|
const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
|
|
|
|
// Connect to free public relay
|
|
const relay = relayInit('wss://relay.damus.io');
|
|
await relay.connect();
|
|
|
|
// Create Nostr event (signed message)
|
|
const event = {
|
|
kind: 29000, // Custom kind for AI swarm
|
|
created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
|
|
tags: [['swarm', 'my-ai-swarm']],
|
|
content: JSON.stringify({
|
|
agentId: identity.agent_id(),
|
|
type: 'task',
|
|
data: 'Write a function'
|
|
})
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Sign with identity (Nostr uses secp256k1, so bridge needed)
|
|
// Or use Nostr's native keys alongside RuVector identity
|
|
|
|
// Subscribe to swarm events
|
|
const sub = relay.sub([
|
|
{ kinds: [29000], '#swarm': ['my-ai-swarm'] }
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
sub.on('event', (event) => {
|
|
const message = JSON.parse(event.content);
|
|
console.log(`From ${message.agentId}: ${message.type}`);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|

## Interactive Swarm Generator
|
|
|
|
Don't know where to start? We've included an interactive code generator that helps you build swarm configurations visually. Just select your options and get production-ready code instantly.
|
|
|
|
### How to Use the Generator
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Option 1: Use a local server (recommended)
|
|
npm install @ruvector/edge
|
|
npx serve node_modules/@ruvector/edge/
|
|
# Then open http://localhost:3000/generator.html
|
|
|
|
# Option 2: Open directly in browser
|
|
# Navigate to: node_modules/@ruvector/edge/generator.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The generator runs live demos directly in your browser using the actual WASM library - you can test everything before copying the code.
|
|
|

### Browser-Based MCP Tools
|
|
|
|
The generator includes a complete MCP (Model Context Protocol) implementation that runs entirely in the browser. This lets you create AI tools that work with Claude and other MCP-compatible systems, but without needing a server.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// Create a browser-based MCP server
|
|
const mcp = new BrowserMCPServer();
|
|
await mcp.init();
|
|
|
|
// Built-in tools ready to use:
|
|
// - discover_agents: Find the right agent for a task
|
|
// - send_secure_message: Encrypted P2P communication
|
|
// - store_memory: Save vectors for semantic search
|
|
// - search_memory: Find similar items by meaning
|
|
// - sign_message: Cryptographically prove authorship
|
|
|
|
// Example: Route a request to find coding help
|
|
const response = await mcp.handleRequest({
|
|
method: 'tools/call',
|
|
params: {
|
|
name: 'discover_agents',
|
|
arguments: { query: 'help me write a Python script' }
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Connect multiple MCP servers for collaboration
|
|
const network = new MCPCollaborativeNetwork();
|
|
await network.addServer('coder', 'programming development');
|
|
await network.addServer('analyst', 'data analysis statistics');
|
|
await network.addServer('writer', 'documentation technical writing');
|
|
|
|
// Requests automatically route to the best server
|
|
const result = await network.routeRequest(request);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why browser-based MCP?**
|
|
- No server costs - runs on user devices
|
|
- Works offline - all tools available without internet
|
|
- Privacy-first - sensitive data never leaves the browser
|
|
- Instant deployment - just include the library
