Getting Started
Pelagora is an open, decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace network. It consists of four packages that work together:
| Package | What it does | npm |
|---|---|---|
| Pelagora Node | Local marketplace node with web UI, REST API, and DHT networking | pelagora |
| PIM Protocol | Shared TypeScript types and category schemas | @pelagora/pim-protocol |
| MCP Server | AI assistant integration via Model Context Protocol | @pelagora/mcp |
| CLI Installer | Interactive setup wizard | pelagora-cli-installer |
How it works
- Install a node — Each user runs their own Pelagora node locally
- List items — Add inventory through the web UI, REST API, or AI assistant
- Discover peers — Nodes find each other over the Hyperswarm DHT
- Trade — Browse, make offers, and negotiate directly peer-to-peer
No central server. No platform fees. Your data stays on your machine.
