How to add Argus tools to a coding agent you already use with Argus Agent

Connect the packaged MCP bridge and host-specific Skills to your coding agent without changing the core runtime.

Short answer: Complete the basic install with Node.js 22.12 or later and sign in to your coding agent CLI; then open the plugin quick start at docs/plugin.md; install the packaged MCP bridge and the Skills that match your host, as the guide describes. All steps.

Who it is forA developer who works mainly in one coding agent and wants Argus's capabilities available from that host.

The problemSwitching to a separate Argus workflow interrupts the coding agent you already trust and use every day.

The outcomeYour existing coding agent can call Argus tools through the MCP bridge and the Skills for its host.

What you need first

  • Node.js 22.12 or later
  • One authenticated Agent CLI, such as GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenAI Codex CLI, or Claude Code
  • A project folder you are willing to let the agents modify

Steps

  1. Complete the basic install with Node.js 22.12 or later and sign in to your coding agent CLI.
  2. Open the plugin quick start at docs/plugin.md.
  3. Install the packaged MCP bridge and the Skills that match your host, as the guide describes.
  4. Restart your coding agent so it loads the new bridge and Skills.
  5. Ask the agent to use an Argus tool on a small task in a test folder and check the result.

Prompt for your agent

Using the microsoft/ArgusAgent repo, follow docs/plugin.md to connect the packaged MCP bridge and host-specific Skills to <your coding agent host>. Expect the host to list the Argus tools after restart. Verify that a small test task in an empty folder completes and that the core Argus runtime files were not changed.

Caveat. The exact bridge and Skill installation steps are in docs/plugin.md, which this summary did not read in full, so confirm the host names it supports there.
