Install Kireo in Continue

What you need first

• Continue, installed.
• Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
• Your own value for YOUR_KIREO_API_KEY.

Steps

1. Open ~/.continue/config.yaml. On Windows it is %USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.yaml.
2. Add this entry. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the item from - name on.

mcpServers:
  - name: "kireo"
    type: stdio
    command: "npx"
    args:
      - "-y"
      - "@kireo/[email protected]"
    env:
      "KIREO_API_KEY": "YOUR_KIREO_API_KEY"

3. Replace YOUR_KIREO_API_KEY with your own value.
4. Save the file and restart Continue.

Check it worked

Ask Continue: List the tools of kireo.

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 npx in 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.
