Every MCP-capable client wires the same read-only oracle (what it exposes) with the same two fields — command: nika · args: [mcp]. This page is one anchor per client, so directory listings can deep-link straight to their tool. For cursor · vscode · windsurf · claude · codex the wiring is one command (idempotent, writes the right file): 
nika wire <client>     # or: nika wire all
And in every case, nika init first — the agent-teaching surface (AGENTS.md, rules, the repo skill) is what makes the oracle useful.

​
Cursor

nika wire cursor
Writes the nika server into ~/.cursor/mcp.json. The repo side (.cursor/rules/nika.mdc, auto-attached on *.nika.yaml) comes from nika init. The VS Code extension also installs into Cursor via OpenVSX.

​
Claude Code

nika wire claude          # MCP oracle
claude plugin marketplace add supernovae-st/nika-agents
claude plugin install nika@nika        # authoring skill + oracle as a plugin

​
Codex

nika wire codex
codex plugin marketplace add supernovae-st/nika-agents
codex plugin add nika@nika

​
VS Code / Copilot

nika wire vscode
nika init also writes .github/copilot-instructions.md and the .vscode/settings.json schema mapping (validation + completion in any YAML-aware editor).

​
Zed

Settings → context_servers: 
{ "context_servers": { "nika": { "command": { "path": "nika", "args": ["mcp"] } } } }

​
Gemini CLI

~/.gemini/settings.json: 
{ "mcpServers": { "nika": { "command": "nika", "args": ["mcp"] } } }

​
Windsurf

nika wire windsurf

​
OpenCode

Native AGENTS.md + repo-skill discovery — see the dedicated OpenCode page.

​
Hermes

Tap-installable delegation skill + mcp_servers stanza — see the dedicated Hermes page.

​
Continue

~/.continue/config.yaml: 
mcpServers:
  - name: nika
    command: nika
    args: [mcp]

​
Cline

MCP settings (cline_mcp_settings.json): 
{ "mcpServers": { "nika": { "command": "nika", "args": ["mcp"] } } }

​
Aider

Aider reads repo conventions rather than MCP: nika init’s AGENTS.md covers it (add CONVENTIONS.md: AGENTS.md to .aider.conf.yml if you keep conventions elsewhere). The check loop is the same: nika check <file> after every edit.

​
Verify (any client)

Ask the agent to list its tools — the eight nika_* names should appear. Then prove the loop end-to-end: integrate in 10 minutes.
Client config formats move fast. The stable contract is the stanza (nika + mcp) and the oracle’s read-only surface; when a client’s config path changes, only this page’s anchor needs the touch-up.
