First copy your MCP server URL from Step 1 in the Overview.
- In your repository (or globally), create or open
.vscode/mcp.json. - Add the Paradime entry:
.vscode/mcp.json
<mcp-endpoint-url> with your MCP server URL.
- Reload VS Code and start the server from the
mcp.jsoneditor or Copilot Chat. When VS Code asks to authenticate with Paradime, complete the sign-in in the browser and approve the connection.
Connected with a legacy token?
New tokens can’t be generated anymore, but an existing legacy token still works; have VS Code prompt for it:.vscode/mcp.json
Using
${input:paradime-token} keeps the token out of the file itself; VS Code stores it in its secret store. Don’t commit the file with the token inlined.
