VS Code

Copy page Markdown llms.txt

On this page you will connect MMW to VS Code over direct HTTP without storing your key in plain text in the repository, and verify the connection.

What you get

The remember, search, forget, validate_memory and gateway_call tools in VS Code chat in agent mode.
Memory shared with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and claude.ai when the key belongs to the same account and project.
Nothing to install: the connection goes straight over HTTPS.

Prerequisites

An MMW API key (starts with mmw_); see the Quickstart.
VS Code with MCP server support and chat in agent mode.

Setup

Create .vscode/mcp.json in the project root. To use MMW in every project, use your user-level MCP configuration instead (the “MCP: Open User Configuration” command in versions that have it).

Add the server. Rather than writing the key into the file, have VS Code prompt for it:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "mmw-key",
      "description": "MMW API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "mmw": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.mmwhub.tech/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:mmw-key}" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks for the key the first time the server starts and keeps it in its secure storage.

Start the server: a Start link appears above the mmw block in the editor, or run “MCP: List Servers” and start mmw from there.

Verify

Open VS Code chat and switch it to agent mode.
Click the tools picker: the list should include the mmw server with remember, search, forget, validate_memory and gateway_call.
Ask:
```
Remember in MMW: staging is deployed with the systemd unit app-staging. Fact key: deploy-staging.
```
VS Code may ask you to confirm the remember call; once confirmed, the record is saved with the unverified status.
In a new chat ask:
```
How do we deploy staging? Check MMW.
```
Expected answer: the agent calls search and replies that staging is deployed with app-staging.
