# Medusa

Medusa is an open-source Node.js commerce framework with a Next.js starter storefront that renders on the server, while custom storefronts decide for themselves. Medusa's own docs publish llms.txt and in-page agent instructions, but nothing read lets a store owner produce one, and agent payment protocols go unaddressed.
