Use case · VS Code

Every MCP server in VS Code, from one endpoint.

Add a single onemcp portal to VS Code instead of registering each MCP server by hand. Your agent gets the whole toolset — and the context window stays free for your code.

Connect VS Code in three steps

  1. 1

    Build a portal

    Collect your MCP servers into a onemcp portal and authenticate each one once.

  2. 2

    Run one command

    `code --add-mcp` with your portal URL registers everything at once.

  3. 3

    Let the agent work

    VS Code discovers and calls your tools through Code Mode in a single round-trip.

Run in your terminal:

onemcp
code --add-mcp '{"name":"onemcp","type":"http","url":"https://portal.onemcp.dev/mcp"}'

Why route VS Code through onemcp

One endpoint to maintain

Add or swap servers in the portal without touching VS Code settings again.

Host-side credentials

OAuth and tokens live in the portal, never in your workspace config.

Room to think

Three meta-tools replace hundreds of definitions, freeing the model's context.

Register every tool with one command.

Create a portal, run one command, and let VS Code's agent take it from there.
