Editor Integration
Octomind integrates with code editors via the ACP (Agent Client Protocol), providing AI assistance directly in your IDE.
Features
- Full session management with tool access
- Streaming tool execution with real-time feedback
- Slash commands available in editor
- MCP server injection from editor config
- Role-based access control
How It Works
Octomind runs as an ACP agent over stdio using JSON-RPC:
octomind acp [TAG]
The editor launches this as a subprocess and communicates via JSON-RPC messages on stdin/stdout.
Neovim
CodeCompanion.nvim (recommended)
require("codecompanion").setup({
adapters = {
octomind = function()
return require("codecompanion.adapters").extend("octomind", {
command = "octomind",
args = { "acp", "developer" },
})
end,
},
strategies = {
chat = { adapter = "octomind" },
inline = { adapter = "octomind" },
},
})
avante.nvim
require("avante").setup({
provider = "octomind",
vendors = {
octomind = {
command = "octomind",
args = { "acp", "developer" },
},
},
})
Zed
Zed has native ACP support. Add to your Zed settings:
{
"language_models": {
"octomind": {
"binary": "octomind",
"args": ["acp", "developer"]
}
}
}
JetBrains IDEs
Supported via the AI Assistant plugin. Configure an external ACP agent:
- Open Settings > Tools > AI Assistant
- Add external agent
- Set command:
octomind acp developer
MCP Server Injection
Editors can inject additional MCP servers into the Octomind session. The servers are passed via the ACP initialization handshake.
Available Slash Commands
All 24 session commands are available via ACP:
/help, /exit, /list, /session, /save, /clear, /info, /report, /model, /role, /loglevel, /context, /summarize, /truncate, /done, /image, /video, /copy, /mcp, /run, /workflow, /prompt, /plan
Roles
- developer -- full tool access (file editing, shell, code analysis)
- assistant -- chat-only, limited tools
- Custom roles work the same as in CLI sessions
Troubleshooting
Agent not found:
Ensure octomind is on your PATH. Try running octomind acp developer in terminal first.
No response / hangs:
- Check that the API key is set in your shell environment
- Editor may need to inherit shell environment variables
- Check
~/.local/share/octomind/logs/acp-debug.logfor errors
Tools not available:
- Verify the role has correct
server_refsandallowed_tools - Check
~/.local/share/octomind/logs/acp-errors.jsonlfor details
JetBrains issues:
- Ensure AI Assistant plugin is up to date
- The plugin must support external ACP agents
