Visual Studio Code

Automatic Setup

1. Open Macuse from your menu bar
2. Click the Server card
3. Under Quick Setup, click the Setup button next to VS Code
4. Macuse will automatically update your VS Code MCP configuration file
5. Restart VS Code to apply changes

Manual Configuration

If automatic setup doesn't work, you can manually edit the configuration file:

Config file: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "macuse": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/Applications/Macuse.app/Contents/MacOS/macuse",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Save the file and restart VS Code.

Verifying the Connection

1. Open VS Code and use the Copilot Chat
2. Ask the AI about available Macuse tools
3. If configured correctly, the AI will have access to Macuse toolboxes
