Skills & IDE Plugins

Chronary publishes a set of Agent Skills and IDE plugins that teach AI coding assistants — Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, OpenAI Codex, and Windsurf — how to use the Chronary API correctly. They contain reference material only, no executable code.

github.com/Chronary/chronary-skills Source repository. MIT licensed.

What’s in the pack

chronary-api

Core REST API — data model, all endpoints, authentication, error handling, ID prefixes.

chronary-toolkit

@chronary/toolkit — 23 tools with adapters for Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI, LangChain, Mastra, and MCP.

chronary-mcp

@chronary/mcp — MCP server setup snippets for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and Windsurf.

chronary-cli

chronary CLI — command reference, scripting patterns, automation recipes.

Plus three reference documents: TypeScript SDK method signatures, end-to-end code examples, and all 12 webhook event payload schemas.

Install

Claude Code

Inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Chronary/chronary-skills
/plugin install chronary@chronary

That installs the chronary plugin with all four skills, three slash commands (/check-availability, /manage-calendar, /schedule-event), and the MCP server configuration.

Cursor

git clone https://github.com/Chronary/chronary-skills.git
cp -r chronary-skills/skills/* ~/.cursor/skills/

Restart Cursor and prompt: “What webhook events does Chronary emit?” — the SKILL.md citation should list all 12.

VS Code Copilot

VS Code Copilot reads Agent Skills from .github/skills/:

git clone https://github.com/Chronary/chronary-skills.git
cp -r chronary-skills/.github/skills/* /path/to/your/project/.github/skills/

Commit .github/skills/ so your team picks up the skills automatically.

OpenAI Codex

Codex reads skills from ~/.codex/skills/ (user-level) and AGENTS.md per-project from each project’s repo root. Install user-level skills, then drop AGENTS.md into each project that uses Chronary:

git clone https://github.com/Chronary/chronary-skills.git
cp -r chronary-skills/skills/* ~/.codex/skills/
cp chronary-skills/AGENTS.md /path/to/your/project/AGENTS.md

Windsurf

git clone https://github.com/Chronary/chronary-skills.git
cp -r chronary-skills/skills/* ~/.windsurf/skills/

One-liner

The repo ships installer scripts that detect your platform and copy skills into the right directory:

# macOS / Linux / WSL
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chronary/chronary-skills/main/install.sh | bash

# Windows PowerShell
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chronary/chronary-skills/main/install.ps1 | iex

By default it installs into all user-level locations (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex). Pass a single target to limit it:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chronary/chronary-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- claude-code

Targets: claude-code · cursor · windsurf · vscode · codex · all.

MCP server

The Chronary MCP server is published to npm as @chronary/mcp. The skill pack includes per-editor configuration for it, but the minimal usage is:

export CHRONARY_API_KEY=chr_sk_...
npx -y @chronary/mcp

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and Windsurf JSON config snippets, see the MCP setup guide or the chronary-mcp skill in the pack.

Tip

The MCP server runs the same code as the REST API — same data, same quotas, same rate limits. Pick MCP when your agent runs inside an MCP-capable client; pick REST for backend integrations.

What the skills teach

Skills don’t run code in your editor. They sit in your skills directory and load when the AI assistant decides the conversation is about Chronary. After installing, you should see citations to SKILL.md files when your assistant answers questions like:

• “Create a Chronary calendar named ‘Work’ in America/New_York.”
• “What webhook events does Chronary emit?”
• “Show me the curl command to list events for a calendar.”
• “How do I check availability across multiple agents at once?”

If you don’t see the citation, the skill isn’t loaded — re-check the install path for your editor.
