Integrations
MCP-first integration paths for IDEs, runtimes, and optional compatibility layers.
Default onboarding is MCP + cockpit (vaner mcp, vaner watch, vaner show).
This section covers integration modes and tool-specific recipes.
Default integration (recommended)
Connect your AI client
One command per client (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Cline, Continue, Zed, Windsurf, Roo, VS Code, Claude Desktop). Manual-setup picker if you'd rather paste it yourself.
MCP mode
Conceptual overview: how Vaner exposes Prepared Work and the vaner.* tool family to MCP-aware clients.
Client capability matrix
Per-client support for the four leverage layers, MCP, primer, skill, hooks.
Advanced and compatibility modes
Context-only mode
Call /v1/context directly from custom frameworks.
Python SDK
Use Vaner as a library inside scripts and automation.
Proxy mode
OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions for clients that cannot use MCP.
Docker
Compose topology for local multi-service setups.
If your client supports MCP, prefer MCP mode first and only use advanced modes when needed.
