Agentic.nvim

⚡ A Chat interface for AI agents in Neovim that works with any provider supporting the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) — including Claude, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor Agent, Copilot, Auggie, Mistral Vibe, Cline, Goose, Kiro, Pi, and more.

Agentic.nvim brings your AI assistant to Neovim through the implementation of the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

You'll get the same results and performance as you would when using the ACP provider's official CLI directly from the terminal.

Agentic.nvim is the interface, your agent is the Brain. This plugin will use all the same configurations and authentication methods you already have set up on your terminal.

Including your MCP servers, commands, SKILLs, and sub-agents, you don't have to recreate your configuration to use Agentic.nvim.

Sessions are interchangeable — start a conversation in Neovim and continue it in the terminal, or pick up a terminal session right inside Neovim. Your ACP provider manages sessions natively, so they're available everywhere.

There're no hidden prompts or magic happening behind the scenes. Just a Chat interface, your colors, and your keymaps.

Supported providers

• 🔑 Zero Config Authentication - No API keys needed
  • Keep you secrets secret: run claude /login, or gemini auth login once and, if they're working on your Terminal, they will work automatically on Agentic.

📋 Requirements

• Neovim v0.11.0 or higher
• ACP Provider CLI - Install the CLI for any ACP-compatible provider of your choice
  • For security reasons, this plugin doesn't install or manage binaries for you. You must install them manually.

We recommend using pnpm
pnpm uses a constant, static global path, that's resilient to updates.
While npm loses global packages every time you change Node versions using tools like nvm, fnm, etc...

You are free to chose any installation method you prefer!
