How to add a server to VS Code

  1. Find the server you want on plug.directory and open its page.
  2. In its install block, pick VS Code. The block shows the config and where it goes.
  3. Put the config in .vscode/mcp.json. Then check the server's tools in VS Code, as its docs describe.

For example, Azure MCP Server, one of the top ranked servers that work in VS Code, goes in .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "azure": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@azure/[email protected]", "server", "start"]
    }
  }
}
