Chat agents are becoming the primary workspace for students and researchers — but institutional scholarly resources and services remain out of reach for AI users.
Nexus Connect is an MCP-based institutional connector that brings your content and services directly into enterprise AI chat agents, including ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Gemini. It gives your community seamless access to trusted resources and keeps the library central to the academic mission.
Unlike product-specific MCP connectors, Nexus Connect provides a single, university-branded integration layer — managed by the institution, reflecting your collections and your identity.
Key capabilities
- Entitlement-based access — connect researchers to licensed scholarly resources
- Institutional identity — keep your brand front and center
- Configurable scope — control which services and sources are prioritized
- Extensible architecture — start with one service, expand over time
- Enterprise-grade privacy and security — no PII collected, no content used for AI training
Nexus Connect launches with academic discovery (powered by Primo and Central Discovery Index) and end-user library services (powered by Alma and Primo). A broad early access program opens July 2026.
