How to use custom agents in your IDE with your AI

Connect LibreChat to your editor to access your pre-configured agents. Your AI client uses these agents to follow your specific coding rules and context.

Short answer

How can I bring my LibreChat agents into Cursor or VS Code?

Connect the LibreChat MCP to your editor to make your custom agents available to your AI client. You'll be able to pick from your existing agent configurations to guide your coding sessions.

The outcomes

Where your work lands

Your agents move from the web interface to your local development environment.

CONTEXT

Agents in your editor

Your AI client pulls in the instructions and settings from LibreChat. This means your specific coding personas are ready to go in Cursor or VS Code.

MODELS

Model availability

The agent can see which models are available through the connection. You can choose the right model for the specific task at hand.

CHAT

Direct interaction

You send messages to your agents through your IDE's chat interface. The agent responds using the logic you already set up in LibreChat.

HUMAN

You stay in control

The AI handles the agent logic, but you decide when to apply a specific agent to a file or a block of code. It won't change your agent settings without you.

The workflow

What your AI does when the connection is live.

The MCP acts as a bridge between your LibreChat configuration and your coding environment.

  1. Fetch agent list

    Your AI client looks at your LibreChat setup to see which agents you have created. It identifies the available personas for your current session.

    list_models

  2. Select a model

    The agent checks which models are compatible with your request. It ensures the conversation uses the right engine for the job.

    list_modelschat_completions

  3. Execute chat

    When you ask a question, the agent uses the specific instructions from your LibreChat agent. It processes your prompt through the selected model.

    chat_completions

  4. Deliver code

    The agent sends the completed response back to your IDE. You get the code or explanation directly in your chat window.

Copy these to start.

Use these prompts to trigger your agents in the IDE.

Starting points

These are ideas to get you moving. Swap out the agent names for the ones you actually created in LibreChat.
