Connect your coding agent
Every MCP-capable harness receives the same tools. Guidance and preview rendering depend on whether the host loads Agent Skills and negotiates MCP Apps.
| Harness | Guide | Typical preview |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Setup | Inline MCP App or local viewer fallback. |
| Claude Desktop | Setup | Inline MCP App; .mcpb install on macOS. |
| Cursor | Setup | Inline when supported. |
| Codex CLI | Setup | Server-opened local browser viewer. |
| GitHub Copilot | Setup | Capability-dependent inline rendering. |
| Continue | Setup | Inline in IDE, text fallback in CLI. |
| Cline | Setup | Local viewer or text fallback. |
The harness capability overview compares all supported hosts.
Portable Agent Skill
The server's tool descriptions are always available. For stronger workflow guidance, copy packages/plugin/skills/genie into the Agent Skills directory documented by your harness guide. Claude Code can also install the repository plugin, which includes the Skill and /genie:preview command but does not bundle a second MCP runtime.
