VS Code MCP Setup - Documentation

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.

terminal

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

terminal

yavy search "your query"

mcp.json

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

1
Open MCP configuration:
Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
Type MCP: Open User Configuration
2
Copy the configuration above and paste it into your mcp.json file
3
Run Developer: Reload Window from the command palette
4
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.

Known Issue: Connection May Hang

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.
