OpenHands

Install and sign in

OpenHands has no Merv plugin. You register the MCP server yourself, and because its browser flow is unsuitable headless, a project key is the recommended credential. Create one in the project under Settings → MCP keys (All my projects unless you want confinement).

config.toml

[mcp]
shttp_servers = [
  { url = "https://experiments.rapidreview.io/mcp", api_key = "paste the key" }
]

The value is sent exactly as Authorization: Bearer <value>. Paste the literal key — env-var interpolation in this value is unconfirmed.

openhands mcp add merv --transport http \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <project-key>" \
  https://experiments.rapidreview.io/mcp

Stored in ~/.openhands/mcp.json.

OAuth is possible (auth = "oauth" / --auth oauth) if you have a browser at hand.

Ask the agent to call project(action="list"), then workflow.status_and_next(project_id). Follow along in the web UI at rapidreview.io/merv.

Skills and reviewers

The repo-root AGENTS.md carries the workflow instructions. Optionally copy the canonical skill directories to .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md; keyword activation would need triggers frontmatter, which Merv’s skills don’t carry, so invoke them explicitly. No reviewer auto-discovery: start a second session or agent with the matching review skill and the handoff prompt, or follow the review inline. See Reviewer handoff.
