Connect VS Code to the Softagen MCP Server

Server endpoint: https://softagen.com

VS Code setup

• Install the Model Context Protocol (MCP) extension in VS Code.
• Add the server:
  • Open the Command Palette → “MCP: Add Server (HTTP)”
  • URL: https://softagen.com/mcp
  • Or add a workspace file .vscode/mcp.json:

  {
    "servers": {
      "softagen": { "type": "http", "url": "https://softagen.com/mcp" }
    }
  }
          

First connect and sign in

• Trigger the MCP server connection from the MCP extension UI.
• A browser opens to https://softagen.com/authorize.
• Sign in with Google/Microsoft/Apple.
• You’ll be redirected to a local 127.0.0.1 URL; VS Code completes the code exchange.
• After that, the MCP server is available inside VS Code.

If something goes wrong

• invalid_client: Share the full /authorize URL (or just the client_id). We’ll register your client.
• redirect_uri not allowed: Share the full /authorize URL. We’ll add your loopback redirect (dynamic ports and wildcard paths supported).
• Token endpoint errors: We support both /oauth/token and /token; retry the connection.
• login_required: Open https://softagen.com/auth/login in your browser, sign in, then retry connecting.

Tip: Once registered the first time, future VS Code connects should be seamless.
