# Continue

> Set up Comity for Continue (IDE extensions and the cn CLI) with an MCP block and an always-on rule. Continue has no hooks.

Continue uses Comity through an MCP server block and a project rule. Continue doesn't document agent hooks, so nothing is automatic: no briefings, no recorded edits and no blocks. See [What works without hooks](/docs/agents/mcp-clients#what-works-without-hooks).

## Set up

```sh
cd your-repo
comity init --tools continue
git add .continue/mcpServers/comity.yaml .continue/rules/comity.md
git commit -m "Set up Comity for Continue"
```

Then reload the window. No token is written anywhere: the server runs the [stdio bridge](/docs/agents/mcp-clients#stdio-bridge-comity-mcp), so `comity login` is enough.

## What init writes

### `.continue/mcpServers/comity.yaml`

```yaml
name: Comity
version: 0.0.1
schema: v1
mcpServers:
  - name: comity
    type: stdio
    command: "node"
    args:
      - "-e"
      - "const c=require('child_process').spawn('comity '+process.argv.slice(1).join(' '),{stdio:'inherit',shell:true});c.on('error',()=>process.exit(1));c.on('exit',(k)=>process.exit(k===null?1:k))"
      - "mcp"
```

See [Continue MCP](https://docs.continue.dev/customize/deep-dives/mcp). The `node -e` launcher runs `comity mcp` through the shell, so the file is the same on every OS and for every teammate. Node must be on PATH, which the CLI needs anyway.

### `.continue/rules/comity.md`

An `alwaysApply: true` [rule](https://docs.continue.dev/customize/deep-dives/rules) with Comity's coordination instructions.

## Verify

```sh
comity doctor
```

Expect `continue mcp  .continue/mcpServers/comity.yaml` and `continue rule  .continue/rules/comity.md`. In Continue, switch to **Agent** mode (MCP tools only run there) and check that the `comity` tools are listed.

## Limits

- No hooks: no automatic briefings, conflict warnings or blocks, and the agent's edits aren't recorded.
- MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
- The `continuedev/continue` repository is now read-only, so expect no new Continue features.
