VS Code MCP Setup

The fastest way to use Yavy with VS Code is the CLI. Search your docs and generate Skills. For real-time access, connect via MCP extensions.

Quick Start with CLI

Install the CLI, authenticate, and search. No MCP setup required.

npm install -g @yavydev/cli && yavy init

yavy search "your query"

{
  "servers": {
    "yavy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://yavy.dev/mcp/your-org/your-project"
    }
  }
}

Open MCP configuration:
- Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
- Type MCP: Open User Configuration
Copy the configuration above and paste it into your mcp.json file
Run Developer: Reload Window from the command palette
Open the GitHub Copilot Chat panel to verify the MCP server is connected

Alternative: Project-Level Configuration
Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project root to share the configuration with your team.

VS Code may sometimes show "Waiting for server to respond to initialize request..." after OAuth authentication. This is a known VS Code issue.

Workaround: Run Developer: Reload Window from the command palette, or remove and re-add the MCP server configuration.
