Give AI a next step:
connect real tools.
MCP servers for real development: remote hosts, relational databases, caches and API debugging. Choose what you need and use a compatible client you already know.
5 independent npm packagesStandard MCP connectionsUse independently of this extension
One protocol. Different workflows.
Connect to your tools.
Keep your way of working.
Clients handle connection and authorization; MCP servers supply capabilities. Available tools depend on client versions, configuration and permissions.
01 / SETUPChoose the client-specific location
Claude Code uses workspace .mcp.json; native VS Code MCP uses .vscode/mcp.json; Cursor uses .cursor/mcp.json.
02 / CONNECTValidate before connecting
Prepare Node.js, endpoints and a low-privilege account. Test connection and tool discovery before enabling writes or deletes.
03 / USEDefine the task and boundaries
Specify permitted environments and actions. Database permissions, host fingerprints and network policies remain essential; prompts cannot replace them.
Never commit passwords, tokens or private keys to Git. npm launches, remote commands, SQL and API calls can have real effects. Test first.
