agent.nvim

An LLM agent for Neovim that integrates AI assistance directly into your editing workflow. agent.nvim provides a chat interface where you can interact with an agent equipped with tools to take action in your development environment.

NOTE: this plugin is experimental and subject to frequent breaking changes.

Features

• Support for streaming respones using either Anthropic or Bedrock API
• Configurable context where buffers and files can be added as context to the agent.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) Support for tool usage
• Conversation persistence (currently writes to a file on your local disk)

Requirements

• Model Provider
  • If using Anthropic, set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  • If using Bedrock, I recommend using SSO via the AWS CLI. The default credentials on your machine will be used.
• Dependencies
  • Python >=3.7
