🚀 Integration Guide: Claude Flow + Flow Nexus + ruv-swarm Unified AI Orchestration

📋 Overview

This issue documents the complete integration architecture between three complementary AI orchestration systems:

  • Claude Flow: Local AI orchestration with 87 MCP tools and SPARC methodology

🔗 Integration Patterns

1. Development Workflow Integration

# Local Development (Claude Flow + ruv-swarm)
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run dev "Build API"
mcp__ruv-swarm__swarm_init {topology: "mesh"}

# Cloud Deployment (Flow Nexus)
mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init {topology: "mesh", maxAgents: 10}
mcp__flow-nexus__sandbox_create {template: "node"}

2. Multi-Tier Architecture

  • Tier 1 (Local): ruv-swarm for rapid prototyping and testing
  • Tier 2 (Coordination): Claude Flow for orchestration and task management
  • Tier 3 (Cloud): Flow Nexus for production scaling and deployment

3. Neural Network Pipeline

// Train locally with ruv-swarm
mcp__ruv-swarm__neural_train({epochs: 50, data: localData})

// Deploy to cloud with Flow Nexus  
mcp__flow-nexus__neural_cluster_init({architecture: "transformer"})
mcp__flow-nexus__neural_train_distributed({cluster_id: "prod"})

@ruvnet In the current setup the flow-nexus MCP is also added. But that MCP contains a lot of the same tools as the claude-flow MCP. As a result I get this error:

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"tools: Tool names must be unique."},"request_id":"req_011CT2kP5jN3jJgR6a3uSfoM"}
