Install Ignition MCP in Continue
What you need first
- Continue, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_IGNITION_URL,YOUR_IGNITION_API_TOKEN.
Steps
- Open
~/.continue/config.yaml. On Windows it is%USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.yaml. - Add this entry. If the file already has
mcpServers, add only the item from- nameon.
mcpServers:
- name: "ignition-mcp"
type: stdio
command: "uvx"
args:
- "ignition-mcp==0.1.3"
env:
"IGNITION_URL": "YOUR_IGNITION_URL"
"IGNITION_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_IGNITION_API_TOKEN" - Replace
YOUR_IGNITION_URL,YOUR_IGNITION_API_TOKENwith your own values. - Save the file and restart Continue.
Check it worked
Ask Continue: List the tools of ignition-mcp.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Continue sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin 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.
