Integrations

The plugin is the best and fastest way to protect each coding agent — one install adds the enforcing hooks and the guardrail skills (the Gemini CLI and Copilot CLI plugins also include the MCP server). Grab an API token from your dashboard, then pick your agent below.

Which one do I need?

Install one path per tool. Automatic means every prompt and command is checked; on request means the AI calls AgentGuards when it decides to, so a check can be skipped. Adding a second path to the same tool checks everything twice and uses your quota twice.

You use	Install	Checks	Don't also add
Claude Code (terminal, or the Desktop app's Code tab)	Plugin	Automatic	the Anthropic API proxy or the MCP server for the same Claude Code
OpenAI Codex CLI	Plugin	Automatic	the AgentGuards app (ChatGPT/Codex directory) in Codex
ChatGPT	AgentGuards app	On request	nothing to add: ChatGPT has no hooks, so on request is the most it supports
Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode	Plugin	Automatic	a separate MCP server entry (the Gemini and Copilot plugins already include it)
VS Code Copilot, Cursor, other MCP clients	MCP server	On request	—
Your own app	REST API / Gateway	Every call you make	—

Claude Code

Claude Code — recommended

# Inside a Claude Code session:
/plugin marketplace add alelaguard/agentguards-plugins
/plugin install agentguards-claude@agentguards

# Then set your token (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) and restart Claude Code:
export AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY=ag_your_token_here

Then run /agentguards:status to confirm it's active. Enforcement is fail-closed by default; set AGENTGUARDS_FAIL_OPEN=true to fail open.

For manual hook setup and full configuration see the Claude Code integration guide →

OpenAI Codex

OpenAI Codex — recommended

codex plugin marketplace add alelaguard/agentguards-plugins
codex plugin add agentguards-codex@agentguards-codex

# Then set your token (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) and restart Codex:
export AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY=ag_your_token_here

For manual hook setup and full configuration see the OpenAI Codex integration guide →

Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI's extension installer only supports single-extension repos, so install by cloning and linking the subdirectory:

Gemini CLI — recommended

git clone https://github.com/alelaguard/agentguards-plugins.git
gemini extensions link agentguards-plugins/gemini

# Then set your token (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) and restart Gemini CLI:
export AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY=ag_your_token_here

For manual hook setup and full configuration see the Gemini CLI integration guide →

GitHub Copilot CLI

Copilot CLI supports installing straight from a repo subdirectory, so no separate clone step is needed:

GitHub Copilot CLI — recommended

copilot plugin install alelaguard/agentguards-plugins:copilot

# Then set your token (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) and restart Copilot CLI:
export AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY=ag_your_token_here

For full configuration see the agentguards-copilot plugin README →

OpenCode

OpenCode — recommended

opencode plugin @agentguardsco/opencode-plugin

# Then set your token (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) and restart OpenCode:
export AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY=ag_your_token_here

For manual/local install and MCP setup see the OpenCode integration guide →

ChatGPT

ChatGPT has no hooks, so it gets the AgentGuards app instead: ChatGPT calls it to scan shell commands, code and untrusted text when it decides something needs checking. In ChatGPT open Plugins → Add → Add custom MCP server, use this server URL with OAuth, then sign in to AgentGuards and click Connect. No key to paste.

Server URL

https://prod.agentguards.co/directory/mcp

Using Codex? Install the Codex plugin above instead — adding this app to Codex as well checks everything twice. Step-by-step: ChatGPT integration guide →

Other integration options — VS Code (GitHub Copilot), GitHub Copilot Enterprise, the REST API, and the Gateway API — are available from your dashboard →
