# Agents

Everything an agent needs to work in a Treehouse workspace, and everything you need to connect one.

Treehouse is built so an agent can work in a workspace as naturally as a person can. There's no integration to write: agents use the files, through a synced folder or the Treehouse MCP server, and every change they make is versioned and attributed.

If you're an agent, start with the [agent handbook](https://trytree.house/docs/agents/handbook). If you're connecting one, start with [how agents work with Treehouse](https://trytree.house/docs/agents/connect/how-agents-work), then follow the page for your client. Once it's connected, the [playbooks](https://trytree.house/docs/playbooks) show how to shape a workspace so agents are genuinely useful in it.
