Plugins

Built-in plugins

Built-in plugins are compiled into the IDE, available in every project and enabled by default; each one can be turned off in the Plugins window. They extend the interface itself: tool windows, title bar and status bar widgets, editor gutter, project tree colors, shortcuts and Search Everywhere commands.

Plugin	What it does
Git	Git integration
Markdown, Mermaid, SVG, CSV, Images, Microsoft Office	File viewers
Node.js	npm window
Runtimes & Jupyter	Python, JDKs and Node.js in the project, Jupyter notebooks
Maven, Gradle	Maven and Gradle windows
Translations	Translations window
Kubernetes	Browses the resources of a cluster, reads their description, YAML and logs, restarts and deletes them, with the installed kubectl and its kubeconfig
Atelier Super Intelligence Tools	The MCP server for AI agents

External plugins

External plugins are JSON manifests of a project, limited to commands. They are enabled for each project separately, and no external plugin runs when it is loaded.

To try one, copy examples/plugins/rust-tools.json to .atelier/plugins/rust-tools.json in your project, click Plugins, then Reload, and enable the extension.

{
  "id": "rust-tools",
  "name": "Rust Tools",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Cargo commands for the current project",
  "commands": [
    { "name": "Check", "program": "cargo", "args": ["check"] },
    { "name": "Test", "program": "cargo", "args": ["test"] }
  ]
}

Arguments are passed as literal values, escaped for the shell. Commands run with the rights of the user: only enable manifests you trust. This API provides external commands, not native libraries or a marketplace.
