Connect Agents
Choose the integration mechanism, then the host or framework:
- Plugins package host configuration, tools, hooks, or Skills. Dedicated plugins can join the host lifecycle; the portable Agent Plugin provides MCP configuration and a Skill.
- MCP exposes Agent tools at the Server's
/mcpendpoint. MCP alone does not provide automatic prompt capture, recall hooks, or Skill installation. - Skills provide discoverable workflow instructions. Installing a Skill does not start the Server or grant host tool permissions. Use the portable Agent Plugin in a compatible host, or export a managed Skill.
Agent Hosts
The 8 Agent Hosts use official for PowerContext project maintenance and community for community contributions.
official does not imply endorsement by a host vendor.
| Agent Host | Stewardship | Integration |
|---|---|---|
| Codex | official | Prompt Hook + MCP + Skill |
| Claude Code | community | Prompt Hook + MCP + Skill |
| DeepSeek Harness | community | HTTP plugin + pc_* + /pc |
| Hermes | community | MemoryProvider + /pc |
| OpenClaw | community | Memory plugin + lifecycle hooks |
| OpenCode | community | HTTP plugin + pc_* |
| Pi Coding Agent | community | Extension + pc_* + /pc |
| WorkBuddy | community | Prompt Hook + MCP + Skill |
Each integration connects to a separately running Server. Follow its guide in the table for installation, connection settings, authentication, and diagnostics.
To select multiple hosts interactively, run:
powercontext setup select --source oceanbase/powercontext --ref masterUse the same ref as the Server. The selector lists hosts in the CLI catalog; consult each Agent guide for its supported installation path.
Python Agent frameworks
All 3 adapters are community. Install them in the application environment; do not use
powercontext setup <host>:
| Framework | Integration | Current availability |
|---|---|---|
| Pydantic AI | Toolset for Memory read/write and context | experimental |
| LangChain | Middleware for context and optional Source capture | master_only |
| LangGraph | Recall hook and Memory tools | master_only |
Evaluation integrations
Bub is for evaluation only. It is not part of the Agent Host or Python Agent framework support lists.
Capabilities and availability
The capability matrix is generated from integrations/capabilities.toml.
The current capability sets for all 8 hosts and Bub are marked master_only; Pydantic AI is experimental.
released means available from a specified release tag, master_only means implemented but unreleased, and
experimental carries no stability guarantee. These labels are separate from stewardship and the
Minimal / Recommended / Full capability profiles.
Use the same release tag or commit for the Server and integration. Check installation requirements:
Windows support is experimental, and does not imply that every host or optional backend supports Windows.
