Get started developing with AI

Learn how to set up and use AI agent plugins for Flutter and Dart using your preferred coding assistant.

AI coding assistants can accelerate your Flutter development workflow by writing code, fixing errors, and building complete features.

To get the best experience with AI coding assistants, install the official Flutter agent plugins, which bundle agent skills and configuration for the Dart and Flutter MCP server.

Claude Code is an agentic coding assistant from Anthropic that runs in your terminal.

Install the official plugin

Equip Claude Code with domain expertise and tools for Flutter and Dart by installing the official plugin from flutter/agent-plugins:

  1. Add the marketplace for Claude Code plugins:

    claude plugin marketplace add flutter/agent-plugins

  2. Install the Flutter and Dart plugin:

    claude plugin install dart-flutter@dart-flutter

  3. Verify the installation:

    claude plugin marketplace list

Rules setup

Claude Code plugins currently cannot bundle rules files automatically. You can configure rules for your project by following Rules for Flutter and Dart.

Codex is an agentic coding assistant designed for terminal and IDE workflows.

Install the official plugin

Equip Codex with official Flutter and Dart skills and MCP configuration:

  1. Add the Dart and Flutter marketplace for Codex plugins:

    codex plugin marketplace add flutter/agent-plugins

  2. Install the Dart and Flutter plugin:

    codex plugin add dart-flutter@dart-flutter

Rules setup

Codex plugins currently cannot bundle rules files automatically. You can configure rules for your project by following Rules for Flutter and Dart.

Cursor is an AI-first code editor built on VS Code.

Install the local plugin

You can install the plugin locally by copying it to your Cursor plugins directory:

  1. Clone the repository:

    bash
    git clone https://github.com/flutter/agent-plugins.git

  2. Copy the repository directory to your local Cursor plugins folder:

    bash
    mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local
cp -r agent-plugins ~/.cursor/plugins/local/dart-flutter

  3. Restart Cursor. The editor automatically discovers and loads the skills under skills/ and configures the MCP server defined in .mcp.json.

If you're using another compatible agentic assistant:

  • MCP Server: To connect your agent to Dart and Flutter developer tools, see the Dart and Flutter MCP server setup guide.
  • Agent Skills: To manually install agent skills into your project's .agents/skills directory using the skills CLI tool, see Install agent skills.
  • Rules: To configure rules and project best practices for your assistant, see Rules for Flutter and Dart.

To get the most out of AI, it helps to understand how the different pieces work together:

ComponentWhat it isHow it helps
Plugins Packages MCP and Skills together for your editor. Start here. Recommended for quick setup.
MCP Server Connects the AI to Flutter developer tools (hot reload, widget tree). Provides the raw machinery for advanced tools.
Agent Skills Step-by-step blueprints for specific tasks. Provides the professional know-how to operate tools.
AI Rules General guidelines and best practices for your project. Enforces consistent coding standards.
