Clients
VS Code
Connect VS Code to an eksis workspace over MCP.
Authentication: OAuth sign-in, API key
Server URL
https://api.eksis.io/mcpSet it up
VS Code reads .vscode/mcp.json and its top level key is servers, not mcpServers. A remote server also needs type set to http, otherwise VS Code tries to run the URL as a command.
Configuration
{
"servers": {
"eksis": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.eksis.io/mcp"
}
}
}Set it up with an AI agent
Paste this prompt into VS Code, or into any other AI agent that can run commands and edit files on the same computer. It stops and hands back to you when eksis asks you to sign in.
Connect the eksis MCP server to VS Code on this computer.
Server URL: https://api.eksis.io/mcp
Setup guide: https://docs.eksis.io/en/mcp/clients/vscode
Use OAuth sign-in. Follow the API key steps only if I give you a key that starts with eksis_sk_. Then use my key wherever the steps show eksis_sk_..., or set it as EKSIS_API_KEY where they read that variable.
OAuth:
Write this to `.vscode/mcp.json`. If the file already exists, merge it in and keep the other servers.
```json
{
"servers": {
"eksis": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.eksis.io/mcp"
}
}
}
```
API key:
Write this to `.vscode/mcp.json`. If the file already exists, merge it in and keep the other servers.
```json
{
"servers": {
"eksis": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.eksis.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer eksis_sk_..."
}
}
}
}
```
From the setup guide:
VS Code reads `.vscode/mcp.json` and its top level key is `servers`, not `mcpServers`. A remote server also needs `type` set to `http`, otherwise VS Code tries to run the URL as a command.
Rules:
- If VS Code already has a server named eksis, show me its entry and ask before you change it.
- Never put an API key in a file that is committed to git. Keep it in an environment variable or the client's own secret store, as the steps show.
- If a command asks a question interactively, show me the question and wait for my answer.
- When eksis opens a sign-in page in the browser, stop and ask me to pick the workspace and approve it. Do not approve it for me.
When you are done, check the connection and list the eksis tools VS Code can see. If it fails, show me the error.How the two ways of signing in differ, and what each permission allows, is on the MCP overview. The tool list shows what the assistant can ask eksis to do.
