Integrations
Syntic Code lives in your terminal, but it rarely works alone. This section covers the many ways to connect syntic and its assistant, Amara, to the tools, editors, and services you already use. Whether you want to drive a session from your phone, wire in an external data source, or package your team’s conventions into a shareable bundle, integrations are how you extend the agent beyond the command line.
Ways to extend Syntic Code
Integrations fall into a handful of categories, each with its own section:
- Platforms put Syntic Code where you work: a remote-control link for your phone, a browser extension, desktop automation, and first-class support inside VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Slack.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) connects Amara to external servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts, so the agent can query your databases, ticketing systems, and internal APIs.
- Agent Skills are reusable packages of instructions and helper files that teach Amara repeatable procedures without bloating every prompt.
- Plugins bundle rules, skills, commands, MCP servers, and hooks into a single installable unit you can share across a team.
- Artifacts turn the output of a session into a portable, shareable document.
Choosing an integration
Start with what is closest to your daily workflow. If you spend most of your day in an editor, install the VS Code or JetBrains integration first. If your team coordinates in Slack, connect Amara there so anyone can delegate a task. Reach for MCP when the agent needs live access to systems it cannot see from the filesystem, and reach for Skills or Plugins when you find yourself repeating the same setup on every project. Each page below is self-contained, so you can adopt integrations one at a time as needs arise.
