Cortex
Cortex is a Rust AI agent framework with first-class tool macros, crew orchestration, graph workflows, and a built-in MCP server. It runs agents as fast native binaries or exposes them to Meridian via the Model Context Protocol.
Get Started
The fastest path is the Quickstart — you’ll have a working agent with a tool in about 3 minutes.
What’s Included
- Agent engine — type-safe conversation loop with provider abstraction
- Tool macros — define tools with
#[tool], schema generated automatically - Crew orchestration — run multiple agents in parallel or sequence
- Graph workflows — stateful multi-step pipelines
- MCP server — expose any agent as an MCP endpoint for Meridian
- Provider support — Anthropic, OpenAI, and local models via Ollama
