# Skills

> Use Antimetal directly from your AI coding tools

Antimetal's plugin lets you interact with your infrastructure investigations, search, and issue management without leaving your AI coding tools. Any MCP-compatible client can connect.

## What you can do

With the Skills integration, your AI tools can:

* **Search your infrastructure.** Run natural-language queries across all connected platforms, the same way [Search](/product/search) works in the Antimetal dashboard.
* **Investigate issues.** Trigger and follow investigations with root cause analysis and remediation steps.
* **Manage issues.** Create, view, and update [issues](/product/issue-lifecycle) directly from your editor or terminal.
* **Query your data.** Pull logs, metrics, traces, and events from your connected integrations.

### Skills

* **`/investigate`** — Entry point for any software problem. Searches issues, queries Antimetal's AI, reads investigative reports and causal graphs, and routes to fix.
* **`/fix`** — Apply Antimetal's remediation to your codebase, adapted for your local environment.
* **`/antimetal-mcp-setup`** — Configure the MCP connection (OAuth or API key).

## Getting set up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your integrations">
    Make sure you've connected the platforms you want Antimetal to query. See [Integrations](/integrations/overview) for the full list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the plugin">
    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Claude Code">
        Within a Claude Code session, add the Antimetal marketplace and install the plugin:

        ```bash theme={null}
        /plugin marketplace add antimetal/skills
        /plugin install antimetal
        ```

        The first time you use an Antimetal tool or skill, Claude Code will open a browser window to log in to your Antimetal account via OAuth. Tokens are stored securely and refreshed automatically.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Cursor">
        Install from the [Cursor Marketplace](https://cursor.com/marketplace) by searching for **Antimetal**, or use the command palette:

        ```bash theme={null}
        /add-plugin antimetal/skills
        ```

        Cursor uses an API key for authentication:

        1. Generate an API key from [API Keys Settings](https://overlook.antimetal.com/settings/api-keys).
        2. Set the environment variable in your shell profile (`~/.zshrc`, `~/.bashrc`, etc.) so it persists:

        ```bash theme={null}
        export ANTIMETAL_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
        ```

        3. Restart Cursor to pick up the environment variable.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Other clients">
        Antimetal's MCP server is available at `https://mcp.antimetal.com`. See the [setup instructions](/connect) for configuration specific to your client:

        * [VS Code](/connect#vs-code)
        * [Claude Desktop](/connect#claude-desktop)
        * [Windsurf](/connect#windsurf)
        * [Codex](/connect#codex)
      </Tab>
