Nerve is a simple Agent Development Kit (ADK) for building, running, evaluating, and orchestrating LLM-based agents using YAML definitions and a CLI. It supports declarative agents, typed tools, native MCP client/server support, workflows, and agent benchmarking, and is LLM-agnostic via LiteLLM.

Use cases

  • build llm agents from yaml files
  • orchestrate multi-agent workflows
  • run mcp servers defined in yaml
  • benchmark and evaluate llm agents
  • automate tasks with llm-powered agents
  • create multi-step agent pipelines
  • connect agents to openai anthropic or ollama models

When to choose

  • you want declarative, auditable, reproducible agent definitions in YAML
  • you need MCP client and server support for agent orchestration
  • you prefer a CLI-driven, LLM-agnostic agent toolkit
  • you want to benchmark and regression-test agents

When to avoid

  • you need a full programmatic SDK in Python rather than YAML-based definitions
  • you require complex non-linear agent graphs or advanced orchestration features
  • you want a GUI or no-code agent builder
