sqz Platform Integrations

sqz integrates with AI coding tools at three levels, depending on how deeply the platform supports MCP and shell hooks.

Integration Levels

Level 1 — MCP Config Only

These platforms support MCP natively. Just add the sqz-mcp server to their config file.

Platform	Config file
Continue	~/.continue/config.json
Zed	~/.config/zed/settings.json

See level1/ for ready-to-paste config snippets.

Level 2 — Shell Hook + MCP

These platforms benefit from both the CLI proxy (shell hook) and the MCP server. Run sqz init first to install the shell hooks, then add the MCP config.

Setup (all Level 2 platforms):

# Step 1: install shell hooks
sqz init

# Step 2: add MCP config (see platform-specific guide below)

Platforms: Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Codex, OpenCode, Goose, Aider, Amp

See level2/ for platform-specific guides.

Level 3 — Native / Deep Integration

Native extensions for VS Code, JetBrains, Chrome (5 web UIs), and API proxy mode.

Platform	Guide
VS Code Marketplace	level3/vscode-marketplace.md
JetBrains Marketplace	level3/jetbrains-marketplace.md
Chrome Web Store	level3/chrome-web-store.md
Firefox Add-ons	level3/firefox-addons.md
API proxy (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI)	level3/api-proxy.md

See level3/ for publishing guides and proxy configuration.

MCP Server Config (all platforms)

The sqz-mcp binary is the MCP server. The config is the same across all platforms:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sqz": {
      "command": "sqz-mcp",
      "args": ["--transport", "stdio"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Make sure sqz-mcp is on your PATH (it's installed alongside sqz).
