Agent Integrations Overview

OpenViking can act as the long-term memory and context backend for many agent runtimes. This section collects the integrations that already exist — pick the one that matches your agent.

Which integration should I use?

If you use…	Use this
Claude Code	Claude Code Memory Plugin — auto-recall + auto-capture via hooks, no MCP tool calls required from the model
OpenClaw	OpenClaw Plugin — context-engine + hooks + tools + runtime manager, deep lifecycle integration
Codex / OpenCode	Other community plugins — MCP-only and tool-mechanism variants
Cursor / Trae / Manus / Claude Desktop / ChatGPT / …	MCP Integration Guide — point any MCP-compatible client at the built-in /mcp endpoint
Hermes Agent (Nous Research)	Hermes — OpenViking memory provider — first-class OpenViking memory provider, no plugin install needed

Two integration depths

The plugins listed here go beyond what a generic MCP client can do:

• Generic MCP clients call OpenViking on demand through tools the model decides to invoke. Setup is one config snippet.
• Hooks-based plugins (Claude Code, OpenClaw) drive recall and capture from runtime lifecycle events — every prompt, every turn, session start/end, compact, subagent spawn. The model doesn't need to "remember to recall."

For agents whose runtime exposes hooks or a context-engine slot, the hooks-based path is usually the better default.

Prerequisite for all integrations

Every integration on this page connects to a running OpenViking server. If you don't have one yet, follow the Quickstart Guide. The default endpoint is http://localhost:1933; remote use requires an API key (see Authentication).
