# Get Started with Agentic Development

> Pick your editor or terminal and set up Wherobots' AI-assisted geospatial development -- extension, MCP Server, Agent Skills, and CLI.

Wherobots provides agentic components that bring AI-assisted geospatial development to your editor or terminal. What you need to install depends on your tool. Pick yours below to get started.

## Pick your tool

Wherobots supports a variety of Code OSS-based editors and terminal-only tools.

<Tip>
  Using a Code OSS editor not listed here? The setup process is the same as any of the editors above, just substitute your editor's CLI command. The extension is available from the [Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/Wherobots/wherobotsjobsubmit).
</Tip>

## What each component does

The [**Wherobots VS Code Extension**](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wherobots.wherobotsjobsubmit) turns Code OSS editors into a geospatial workspace with [notebook development](/develop/vscode-extension/notebooks), [job submission](/develop/vscode-extension/jobs), [data browsing](/develop/vscode-extension/integrate-your-data), and [workspace management](/develop/vscode-extension/workspaces). In VS Code, it also automatically configures the MCP Server and includes Agent Skills.

## Component Overview

Wherobots' Agentic Tools consist of the following components that work together to provide our agentic experience:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="MCP Server" icon="message-bot">
    Connects your AI assistant to Wherobots Cloud for catalog exploration, Spatial SQL generation, and query execution.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Agent Skills" icon="brain">
    Gives your AI assistant domain-specific Wherobots knowledge for more accurate commands and fewer errors.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Wherobots CLI" icon="terminal">
    Wraps the full Wherobots API into a single binary for job submission, log streaming, and automation.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Why use Wherobots' agentic tools?

Wherobots' agentic tools connect your AI assistant to Wherobots Cloud and your local development environment so you can interact with your spatial data, catalogs, and jobs in a more intuitive way.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Explore your spatial catalog conversationally" icon="book-open">
    The MCP Server connects your AI assistant to Wherobots Cloud so you can browse catalogs, databases, and table schemas (including Overture Maps and your own datasets) by asking questions in plain language instead of navigating the console.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Generate Spatial SQL without memorizing functions" icon="code">
    Describe a geospatial task (e.g. "find buildings within 500m of this point") and the MCP Server returns optimized Spatial SQL using WherobotsDB's ST functions, spatial joins, and indexing patterns.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Submit and monitor Wherobots jobs from your editor" icon="rocket">
    Use the CLI or the extension to submit Spark job runs, stream logs in real time, check resource metrics, and cancel jobs without leaving your editor or terminal.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Get Wherobots-aware AI assistance" icon="brain">
    Agent Skills teach your AI assistant Wherobots-specific APIs, query patterns, and workflow sequences so it produces correct `wherobots` CLI commands, valid MCP tool calls, and accurate notebook code on the first try.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Setup by tool

Every supported editor and terminal gets the same AI-assisted job submission and MCP features. What differs is how the MCP Server and Agent Skills are installed: the Wherobots extension configures them automatically in VS Code, while other tools require a one-time manual setup.

Here's what you'll set up for each tool:

| Tool               | Wherobots Extension | Wherobots MCP Server           | Wherobots Agent Skills         |
| ------------------ | :------------------ | :----------------------------- | :----------------------------- |
| **VS Code**        | Included            | Included                       | Included                       |
| **Cursor**         | Included            | Additional Setup<br />Required | Additional Setup<br />Required |
| **Windsurf**       | Included            | Additional Setup<br />Required | Additional Setup<br />Required |
| **Kiro**           | Included            | Additional Setup<br />Required | Additional Setup<br />Required |

| **OpenCode**       | N/A                 | Additional Setup<br />Required | Additional Setup<br />Required |

* **Included**: configured for you when the extension installs.
* **Additional Setup Required**: you install or configure it yourself (see the tool's setup page).
* **N/A**: Not applicable to the tool in its current form factor (e.g. no extension for terminal-only tools).
