Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

• A Kobiton account - sign up at kobiton.com if you don't have one
• A supported AI assistant - install Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, or Cursor (CLI or IDE)
• A project directory - your AI assistant must launch from a workspace, not from your home folder

Installation

Claude Code

Open your project and start a Claude Code session:

cd my-project
claude

Inside the session, add the Kobiton marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add kobiton/automate
/plugin install automate@kobiton

GitHub Copilot CLI

Open your project and start a Copilot CLI session:

cd my-project
copilot

Inside the session, add the Kobiton marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add kobiton/automate
/plugin install automate@kobiton

Gemini CLI

From your project directory, install the extension directly from GitHub:

cd my-project
gemini extensions install https://github.com/kobiton/automate

Then launch Gemini CLI:

gemini

The kobiton MCP server and bundled skills are auto-discovered. Confirm the extension is active with /extensions list and the MCP server with /mcp.

Codex CLI

Add the Kobiton marketplace and install the plugin from the in-session browser. Codex opens a browser for Kobiton OAuth login on the first tool call.

codex plugin marketplace add kobiton/automate
codex

Inside Codex:

1. Type /plugins to open the plugin browser
2. Select the kobiton marketplace, then install the automate plugin
3. The system browser should open for Kobiton OAuth login. After sign-in, tokens are cached in the OS keychain (macOS Keychain / Linux Secret Service / Windows Credential Manager) with automatic refresh.
4. Run /mcp to confirm kobiton is Connected.

Fallback: manual config.toml setup

If you prefer not to use the marketplace, register the MCP server directly in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.kobiton]
url = "https://api.kobiton.com/mcp"

Then copy AGENTS.md into your workspace so Codex picks up the tool list and skill reference:

curl -sLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kobiton/automate/main/AGENTS.md

Launch codex and run /mcp to confirm. The OAuth flow still applies on the first tool call.

Cursor CLI

Open your project and start a Cursor CLI session:

cd my-project
agent

Inside the session, add the Kobiton marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add github.com/kobiton/automate

Cursor parses the repository for a few seconds; when the automate entry appears, press Enter to install (pick the installation scope that suits you). The installation brings in the bundled skills, the kobiton MCP server, and the slash commands.

Then exit and relaunch agent. Cursor CLI currently loads plugin skills only at session start, so the skills won't appear until a fresh session.

Run /mcp list, select Kobiton, and choose Login to complete Kobiton OAuth in the browser.
