Future integrations — backlog
A scratch list of third-party app/service integrations eVi could grow. Nothing here is committed; the point is to capture ideas as they come up so we don't lose them. When we pick one up, it gets its own phase entry in CHANGELOG.md and the project memory.
Each entry has a one-line sketch of the integration shape: which eVi surfaces would expand (tool category + maybe a CLI subcommand) and what sort of dependency it'd pull in.
Deferred (asked-and-pushed-out)
These were mentioned in the 2026-05-27 planning session but the user chose to defer in favour of calendar reading first.
| App | Use case | Sketch |
|---|---|---|
| Home Assistant | Control lights / climate / locks, query sensors | REST API + long-lived token. Tools: homeassistant_state(entity), homeassistant_service(domain, service, data). Existing homeassistant Python client, or just httpx direct. |
| Notion | Read pages + databases, append notes | Official notion-client. OAuth or integration token. Tools: notion_search(query), notion_get_page(id), notion_append(parent, content). |
| Spotify | Now-playing, search, queue + playback control | spotipy + OAuth (refresh-token flow). Tools: spotify_now_playing(), spotify_search(q, type), spotify_play(uri), spotify_queue(uri). |
| Plex | Library search, what's playing, history | plexapi. Server URL + token (Plex.tv). Tools: plex_search(q), plex_recently_added(days), plex_playback_state(). |
| Slack | Read DMs/channels, search history, send messages | slack_sdk bot token or user token. Tools: slack_search(q), slack_read_channel(id, n), slack_send(channel, text). Permission-gated send. |
| VS Code | Open files, see what user is editing, run tasks | Two paths: (a) eVi MCP server consumed by Cline/Continue, (b) VS Code extension that posts cursor + active-file context to eVi. Probably (a). |
| JetBrains | Same as VS Code | JetBrains has Beta MCP support; (a) above covers it. |
Other candidates (not yet asked, but reasonable)
These came up implicitly while listing the above. Capture them while they're fresh.
| App | Use case | Sketch |
|---|---|---|
| Discord | DMs + server messages | discord.py (bot user) + opt-in audit log. Read-only tools first; send under permission. |
| Telegram | DMs + bots | python-telegram-bot. Bot token only — user-account TG is more invasive. |
| GitHub | Issues, PRs, code search, releases | PyGithub or raw REST + PAT. Already covered partially by MCP github server — could ship a native tool too. |
| GitLab | Same as GitHub | python-gitlab. |
| Linear | Issue tracking | REST + API key. Tools: linear_search, linear_issue(id), linear_create_issue(...). |
| Jira / Confluence | Issue tracking + wiki | atlassian-python-api. Beware: enterprise auth flows. |
| Trello | Lightweight cards | REST + API key. Niche. |
| Asana | Tasks | Official Python client. Same shape as Linear. |
| Email — IMAP/SMTP | Read + send without provider-specific OAuth | imaplib + smtplib stdlib. Generic, beats per-provider integrations for users on Fastmail/Posteo/etc. (We deliberately deferred Phase 2 Gmail/M365; IMAP is the user-friendly fallback.) |
| RSS / Atom | News feeds, blog updates | feedparser. Read-only. Pairs well with dream/memory. |
| YouTube transcripts | Summarize videos | youtube-transcript-api. No API key, just URL → transcript. |
| Read subs, comment threads | praw + OAuth (read-only is easier). | |
| Mastodon / Bluesky | Same shape as Twitter | Mastodon: Mastodon.py. Bluesky: atproto. |
| Twitter / X | API now restrictive | Skip unless user has paid API tier. |
| Hacker News | Read top stories, comments | Free API; no auth. Pairs well with morning briefings. |
| Anki | Spaced repetition for memorisation | anki-connect (HTTP plugin) or raw .anki2 files. |
| Obsidian | Already shipped via sync. Possibly add a live-vault tool for in-conversation lookups. | |
| Logseq | Same shape as Obsidian, different file layout. | |
| iMessage / SMS | Read recent messages | macOS only: ~/Library/Messages/chat.db. SQLite read tool already exists — would be a thin wrapper. |
| Apple Reminders | Read + create tasks | macOS only: AppleScript bridge via osascript. |
| Things 3 | Tasks | macOS+iOS. URL scheme for create; SQLite read for ~/Library/Containers/com.culturedcode.ThingsMac/.... |
| Todoist | Cross-platform tasks | Official Python SDK; REST + API token. |
| TickTick | Cross-platform tasks | Unofficial REST clients. |
| OmniFocus | Tasks | macOS AppleScript or URL scheme. |
| Read-it-later | Pocket REST API. Mostly defunct since Mozilla's pivot. | |
| Instapaper / Readwise | Highlights export | Readwise has a clean REST API. Useful for dream/memory feedback. |
| Drafts | macOS quick capture | URL scheme + iCloud Drive. |
| OneDrive / Dropbox / Google Drive | File access | Each has an OAuth flow; would beat IMAP-like generic-WebDAV approach. |
| WebDAV | Generic file access | webdavclient3. Covers Nextcloud, ownCloud, kDrive. |
| Slack Tracker (Sherlock-style) | Local stand-up summaries | Reads from Slack tool above + git tool. Composes a daily report. Could be a recipe instead of a tool. |
| Postgres / MySQL / SQLite via DB URL | Generic read-only DB queries beyond the current sqlite tool | sqlalchemy or per-DB drivers; broaden the existing SQLite tool. |
| Redis | Cache/inspect | redis-py. Mostly dev-ops use. |
| AWS / GCP / Azure CLIs | Cloud ops | Wrappers around aws/gcloud/az. Permission-gated. |
| Kubernetes | Cluster ops | kubernetes client. Read-only by default; tools like kubectl_get_pods etc. |
| Docker | Local containers | Docker SDK or shell. List, logs, exec. |
| Tailscale | Status, peer list | tailscale CLI subprocess. |
| Wireguard | Status | wg show parse. |
| Calibre | E-book library | calibre CLI or calibredb script. |
| Apple Notes | Read | macOS only — AppleScript bridge. |
| Goodreads / StoryGraph | Reading list | StoryGraph has no API; Goodreads' API is sunset. Skip. |
| Letterboxd | Watched films | No API. Skip until they ship one. |
| Last.fm | Music history | REST + API key. Pairs with Spotify. |
| Strava | Workouts | OAuth + REST. |
| Apple Health / Google Fit / Garmin Connect | Body data | Apple Health export → XML (via Shortcuts); Garmin via garminconnect. |
| Weather | Conditions / forecast | open-meteo (no key), or NWS, or OpenWeatherMap. Tool: weather(location, when). |
| News headlines | NewsAPI / GDELT | API key needed for most. RSS is the no-key fallback. |
| Wikipedia | Article excerpts | wikipedia-api. No key. Useful retrieval target. |
| arXiv / Semantic Scholar | Paper search + abstracts | Both have free REST APIs. |
| GitHub Copilot / Cursor / Cody | AI-to-AI bridge | If you have a paid Copilot/Cursor seat, the bridge is mostly novelty — you already have eVi. |
| Vault / 1Password CLI / Bitwarden CLI | Secret retrieval | op / bw CLIs. Permission-gated heavily. Useful for hooks that need credentials. |
| Browser history | What did I look at yesterday | SQLite reads against Chromium / Firefox profiles. Privacy considerations. |
| Browser bookmarks | Search saved links | Same shape as history. |
| Shell command palette | Recent commands + frequency | ~/.zsh_history / ~/.bash_history parse. |
fzf / ripgrep / fd | Better local search than find_in_project | Subprocess wrappers; faster for non-semantic queries. |
Bridges (eVi as MCP server)
Rather than building N integrations one at a time, we could publish an eVi MCP server that exposes eVi's tools (memory, index, calendar, etc.) so that other agents — Claude Desktop, Cline, Continue, Cursor — can consume them. This flips the integration story: you don't bridge into eVi from each editor, the editor's agent reaches out to eVi's tool surface.
Tracked separately as a possible Phase 31-ish item.
How to add to this list
Just edit this file and open a PR (or paste in chat — eVi will edit it). The table is plain markdown; new rows go anywhere.
