nexmod

Paste a full Nexus URL or pass a game slug + mod ID. Atomic download with MD5 verification before extraction. Supports .zip, .tar.gz, .7z. Detects conflicts before touching disk. Free accounts: use nexmod import to install a manually-downloaded archive — no Premium needed.

Reads mod.json and .mod files for declared dependencies, then sorts topologically. Cycles are surfaced, not silently buried at the end of the file.

Snapshot the current load order as a named profile. Load it back in one command — including automatically installing any mods missing from that profile. Useful for separating a stable set from an experimental one.

doctor checks your whole environment before you touch anything. rollback restores from auto-saved version snapshots. fsck --fix repairs DB drift; fsck --scan finds untracked folders and offers to track them. Dep scan runs on every update so gaps can't accumulate.

Search Nexus Mods by name from the terminal — no browser needed. Results include mod ID, summary, downloads, and endorsements sorted by popularity. Pass --json for structured output that LLM agents and scripts can parse directly. info --remote fetches full mod details without installing first.

Native Claude / LLM tool integration — no subprocess, no text parsing, just typed tool calls. Install once, then ask Claude to manage your mods directly. pip install nexmod[mcp]
