Integrations
Rho ships host and shell integrations in the binary. You do not install a plugin store or run init hooks for the pieces below.
| Integration | Role | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Herdr | Agent state, sibling-pane attach, host image paste under a Herdr workspace | Herdr |
| RTK | Rewrites agent shell commands when the rtk binary is on PATH | RTK |
| MCP | Native stdio and Streamable HTTP tools | Model Context Protocol |
| Agent Plugins | Local packages installed by the user; Rho has no plugin store or remote registry | Agent Plugins |
All stay optional. Outside Herdr, Rho skips host reporting. Without RTK, shell tools run commands unchanged. MCP stays inert until you add an enabled server under [mcp.servers] or a plugin package provides one. Agent Plugins load only from the explicit plugin roots. Disabled packages stay visible in rho plugins list but do not contribute components.

Check setup from the interactive TUI with /doctor. Inspect MCP with /mcp or rho mcp list. Manage packages with rho plugins. Plugin load problems appear in doctor and plugin inventory output.
