Coding agent connectors integrate ByteRover’s context tree with your AI coding agents. When connected, your coding agent gains access to ByteRover’s context tree through direct tool integration (brv-query, brv-curate) or CLI commands (brv query, brv curate).

​
Connector types

ByteRover supports four connector types:

Skill Connector

Drops ByteRover skill files into your project that agents pick up automatically.

MCP Connector

Gives your agent brv-query and brv-curate tools directly.

Rules Connector

Adds a rules file (e.g., CLAUDE.md) your agent reads on startup.

Hook Connector

Injects ByteRover instructions into every prompt automatically.
Skill is the default connector for most agents, providing comprehensive project-level guidance. MCP is the default for Augment Code, Claude Desktop, Cline, Qwen Code, and Zed.

​
Connect an agent

Run /connectors in the interactive TUI to open the connector manager:
/connectors
Connector managerInteractive flow:
  1. Detect — Scans for currently installed connectors
  2. Select — Choose to manage an existing connector or connect a new agent
  3. Configure — Pick your agent and connector type
  4. Install — Creates the config file, rule file, or skill files automatically
MCP connectors: Some agents support auto-setup where ByteRover writes the config file automatically. Others require manual configuration — ByteRover will display the steps.Hook connectors: Restart your coding agent after installation to apply the new hooks.

​
Supported agents

ByteRover supports 23 AI coding agents. Skill is the default for most agents; MCP is the default for Augment Code, Claude Desktop, Cline, Qwen Code, and Zed:

brv hub install byterover-review --agent "Claude Code"
