# Agent setup

Connect an MCP-compatible agent to your Orchestor workspace using OAuth. The hosted server URL is `https://mcp.orchestor.io/mcp`.

## Choose your agent

- **[Claude Code](https://orchestor.io/docs/en/agent-setup/claude-code.md)**
  Set up Orchestor CLI to explore brands and AI answers from Claude Code.

- **[Codex](https://orchestor.io/docs/en/agent-setup/codex.md)**
  Add the MCP server and connect your workspace with OAuth.

- **[Cursor](https://orchestor.io/docs/en/agent-setup/cursor.md)**
  Add MCP to your editor to access Orchestor data while you work.

- **[OpenCode](https://orchestor.io/docs/en/agent-setup/opencode.md)**
  Configure the remote MCP server and authenticate to access your data.

## Understanding agents

### Terminal

Runs in a shell. Useful for automation, scripting, and CI pipelines.

### IDE

An editor with integrated AI. Review visual diffs and edits across files.

### Cloud

Runs on hosted infrastructure. Delegate asynchronous or long-running tasks.

### Extension

Adds an agent to an existing editor while keeping your familiar setup.

### Skills

Reusable instructions and resources that teach an agent how to perform a task in a specific domain.

### MCP

Model Context Protocol connects agents to external tools and data. Orchestor exposes workspace data through its MCP server.

### Model flexibility

Some agents use only their vendor’s models. Others support multiple providers or your own API key (BYOK).

### Context

The information available to an agent: the current conversation, persistent project instructions, or a searchable codebase.

### Cloud / Local

Cloud agents execute remotely; local agents execute on your machine. Local execution may still send context to a remote model, depending on the configuration.

### Proprietary / Open source

Proprietary agents follow the vendor’s license. Open-source agents make their source available to inspect and modify under their license.

### Locked model / BYOK

A fixed-model agent uses a specific provider. BYOK lets you configure your own API key for supported providers and models.

### Session / Indexed codebase

Session context centers on the current conversation. An index makes repository files searchable beyond what is already in the conversation.
