VS Code

FLORA MCP works in VS Code with GitHub Copilot Chat (agent mode) or any extension that consumes MCP servers.

Option A — One command

code --add-mcp '{"name":"flora","type":"http","url":"https://florafauna-ai.stlmcp.com/"}'

VS Code will prompt for confirmation, then add the entry to your user-level MCP settings. Open agent mode and the FLORA tools appear in the tools picker.

Option B — Workspace config

For a project-scoped config that teammates can share, create .vscode/mcp.json at the repo root:

{
  "servers": {
    "flora": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://florafauna-ai.stlmcp.com/"
    }
  }
}

Commit the file. Anyone who opens the workspace will be prompted to start the FLORA server on first use.

Authorize

First tool call opens an OAuth browser tab. Sign in to FLORA and approve. VS Code stores the token in the OS keychain.

Verify

In Copilot Chat (agent mode), click the tools icon to open the tools picker. flora should be listed with sub-tools (list_techniques, run_technique, …). Try:

#flora List my Techniques.

The #flora mention prioritizes the FLORA toolset for that turn.

Remove

Remove the flora entry from your settings (use the command palette: MCP: List Servers → select flora → Remove). Then revoke server-side in FLORA → Settings → Connected apps.

Troubleshooting

• code --add-mcp shell quoting — on Windows PowerShell, escape inner quotes: code --add-mcp '{\"name\":\"flora\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://florafauna-ai.stlmcp.com/\"}'.
• Tools not in agent mode — make sure you’re in Agent mode, not Ask mode. Tools only execute in Agent.
• Server shows as stopped — open MCP: List Servers, select flora, click Start.
