# Extensions

> IDE extensions and AI agent integrations for Flox

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Skills and MCP">
    [Flox Agentic](https://github.com/flox/flox-agentic) provides a skill library and MCP server
    that give AI coding agents expert knowledge of Flox environments,
    builds, services, containers, publishing, and CUDA.

    **Skills included:** `flox-environments`, `flox-services`,
    `flox-builds`, `flox-containers`, `flox-publish`,
    `flox-sharing`, `flox-cuda`

    ## Claude Code

    The Flox plugin for Claude Code installs both the skill library
    and MCP server in one step:

    ```
    claude plugin marketplace add flox/flox-agentic
    ```

    ```
    claude plugin install flox@flox-agentic
    ```

    ## Other agents (skills.sh)

    For Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, and 15+ other agents,
    use [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) — a third-party open agent skills
    ecosystem:

    ```
    npx skills add flox/flox-agentic
    ```

    <Note>
      **Third-party tool**

      skills.sh is not maintained by Flox. It requires Node.js.
      See [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) for supported agents and docs.
    </Note>

    ## MCP server

    For agents that support the
    [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) directly, install the MCP server:

    ```
    flox install flox/flox-mcp-server
    ```

    Then point your client at the `flox-mcp` command using stdio
    transport. For Cursor, add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

    ```
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "flox": {
          "command": "flox-mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

  <Tab title="VS Code">
    The [Flox extension for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=flox.flox) brings full
    environment management into VS Code and compatible editors
    like [Cursor](https://cursor.com).

    ## Install from the Marketplace

    <Note>
      **Requirements**

      * Flox CLI installed ([install instructions](/install-flox/install))
      * VS Code 1.87.0 or later
    </Note>

    1. Open the Extensions view (<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd> on macOS,
       <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd> on Linux)
    2. Search for **Flox**
    3. Click **Install**

    ## Build and install from source

    If you prefer to install manually, you can build a `.vsix` file
    from the source repository:

    1. Clone the repository and check out a release tag:

       ```
       git clone https://github.com/flox/flox-vscode.git
       cd flox-vscode
       git checkout v1.0.1
       ```

    2. Activate the Flox environment and build the package:

       ```
       flox activate
       npm run package
       ```

       This creates a `.vsix` file in the project directory.

    3. Install the `.vsix` file using the Command Palette
       (<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> on macOS, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> on Linux):

       * Run **Extensions: Install from VSIX...**
       * Select the generated `.vsix` file

       Or install from the command line:

       ```
       code --install-extension flox-*.vsix
       ```
