Set up an agent

One banish init command wires banish into your agent. Pick yours below. If you are hitting Claude Code usage limits too fast, this is the fix.

Claude Code

banish init claude-code

This registers a PreToolUse hook so Bash commands are routed through banish automatically. banish only auto-approves commands your existing permission rules already allow; state-changing commands still prompt you.

Cursor

banish init cursor

Any MCP agent

For any agent that speaks the Model Context Protocol, register banish as an MCP server:

banish init mcp

Under the hood this points your agent at banish serve, which exposes every verb in your extensions as an MCP tool over stdio. See MCP server for what that gives you.

For step-by-step setup in a specific agent, see the integration guides for Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, Windsurf, Cline, and GitHub Copilot.

What init writes

banish init is idempotent and only touches the config for the agent you name. Re-run it any time to repair the wiring. Each command prints exactly what it created, so you can see what changed.
