Check it worked
Ask Continue: List the tools of ads-mcp.
If it does not start
- spawn npx ENOENT
- Node.js is not on the PATH that Continue sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
npxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong. - Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid YAML any more. Check that the entry is indented like the lines around it.
