uLinga Nexus is an AI integration and multi-protocol gateway for HPE Nonstop that securely connects AI applications to HPE Nonstop via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), with data transformation and multi-protocol gateway support. This is an innovative product by our partner Infrasoft.
An MCP server running natively on Nonstop. Claude calls tools over HTTPS; uLinga validates OAuth, transforms JSON to native binary records, and reaches Pathway, Guardian/OSS, TCP/IP and HTTP back-ends--no application changes.
uLinga Nexus exposes your Nonstop applications to AI agents through MCP, enabling AI-powered fraud detection, conversational interfaces, and intelligent automation against live transactional data.
uLinga Nexus supports TCP/IP, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and TLS, as well as Pathsend and Guardian IPC on HPE Nonstop.
This is critical because Nonstop environments typically run a mix of:
uLinga Nexus acts as the universal bridge across all of these — routing messages between any combination of endpoints without changing existing Nonstop application code.
Messages can be transformed to and from binary fixed-format, JSON, ISO8583 and more.
This is hugely relevant for Nonstop shops running financial transaction systems, where:
uLinga Nexus handles all of this transformation inline — a massive time-saver.
uLinga Nexus lets you modernise your applications without modifying code.
For Nonstop environments where core applications may be decades old (TAL, COBOL85, pTAL), this is invaluable — you get modern AI and API capabilities as an overlay, preserving stability and avoiding regression risk.
It strengthens security by utilising industry-standard SSL/TLS, OIDC, and OAuth, minimising integration risk and effort.
This complements Nonstop's native SAFEGUARD security model by adding modern identity and transport security at the gateway layer.
Both browser-based and command-line configuration/management are supported. The web interface utilises HTML5 and WebSockets with no client software to install, and the interactive command-line interface supports obey/script files.
Nonstop operators familiar with TACL obey files will feel right at home with the CLI management model. There is also a built-in tracing facility and standard logging support — essential for diagnosing integration issues in high-throughput transaction environments.
In short, uLinga Nexus is a strategic bridge that lets Nonstop systems — which are built for reliability and high-throughput transactions — participate in the modern AI and API economy without sacrificing their core strengths.
