The context providers documented on this page have been deprecated and are no longer actively maintained. We recommend using alternative solutions or the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for similar functionality. These providers may be removed in future versions.

Deprecated Providers

The following context providers have been deprecated but are kept here for reference. If you’re currently using any of these providers, consider migrating to alternative solutions.

@Greptile

Query a Greptile index of the current repo/branch.

YAML

config.yaml

context:
  - provider: greptile
    params:
      greptileToken: "..."
      githubToken: "..."

JSON

config.json

{
  "contextProviders": [
    {
      "name": "greptile",
      "params": { "GreptileToken": "...", "GithubToken": "..." }
    }
  ]
}

@Commits

Reference specific git commit metadata and diff or all of the recent commits.

YAML

config.yaml

context:
  - provider: commit
    params:
      Depth: 50
      LastXCommitsDepth: 10

JSON

config.json

{
  "contextProviders": [
    { "name": "commit", "params": { "Depth": 50, "LastXCommitsDepth": 10 } }
  ]
}

The depth is how many commits will be loaded into the submenu, defaults to 50. The LastXCommitsDepth is how many recent commits will be included, defaults to 10.

@Discord

Reference the messages in a Discord channel.

YAML

config.yaml

context:
  - provider: discord
    params:
      discordKey: "bot token"
      guildId: "1234567890"
      channels:
        - id: "123456"
          name: "example-channel"
        - id: "678901"
          name: "example-channel-2"

JSON

config.json

{
  "contextProviders": [
    {
      "name": "discord",
      "params": {
        "discordKey": "bot token",
        "guildId": "1234567890",
        "channels": [
          { "id": "123456", "name": "example-channel" },
          { "id": "678901", "name": "example-channel-2" }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Make sure to include your own Bot Token, and join it to your related server . If you want more granular control over which channels are searched, you can specify a list of channel IDs to search in. If you don’t want to specify any channels, just include the guild id(Server ID) and all channels will be included. The provider only reads text channels.

@Jira

YAML

config.yaml

    }
  ]
}

Make sure to include your own Atlassian API Token, or use your email and token, with token set to your password for basic authentication. If you use your own Atlassian API Token, don’t configure your email.

Jira Datacenter Support

This context provider supports both Jira API version 2 and 3. It will use version 3 by default since that’s what the cloud version uses, but if you have the datacenter version of Jira, you’ll need to set the API Version to 2 using the apiVersion property.

YAML

config.yaml

context:
  - provider: jira
    params:
      apiVersion: "2"

JSON

config.json

{ "contextProviders": [{ "name": "jira", "params": { "apiVersion": "2" } }] }

Issue Query

By default, the following query will be used to find issues:

assignee = currentUser() AND resolution = Unresolved order by updated DESC

You can override this query by setting the issueQuery parameter.

Max results

You can set the maxResults parameter to limit the number of results returned. The default is 50.

@Gitlab Merge Request

Reference an open MR for this branch on GitLab.

YAML

config.yaml

context:
  - provider: gitlab-mr
    params:
      token: "..."

JSON

config.json

{ "contextProviders": [{ "name": "gitlab-mr", "params": { "token": "..." } }] }

You will need to create a personal access token with the read_api scope.

Using Self-Hosted GitLab

You can specify the domain to communicate with by setting the domain parameter in your configurtion. By default this is set to gitlab.com.

YAML

config.yaml
