Paste this into your agent

Start with this visible request when you want the agent to help. It keeps the action coming from you, while the linked setup reference stays plain and non-recursive.

Use this in the app you are connecting, then approve only the browser login, app setting, or restart steps that the app requires.

Please help me set up Core for VS Code. Core is a home base for AI agents: it keeps memory, files, decisions, tasks, and work context synced across tools, harnesses, and models.

Use this official setup reference:
https://gradien.ai/core/docs/reference

VS Code and GitHub Copilot use their own MCP server configuration shape. Do not copy Cursor's mcp.json format into VS Code unless the current VS Code docs explicitly say to do so.

Core MCP server URL:

https://core.gradien.ai/mcp

Setup

  1. Open the current VS Code MCP server documentation.
  2. Open the user or workspace MCP configuration location documented by VS Code.
  3. Back up the existing config before editing it.
  4. Add Core using the current VS Code servers shape for remote MCP servers.
  5. Use https://core.gradien.ai/mcp as the server URL.
  6. Save the config.
  7. Approve or start the server if VS Code prompts.

Verify

Open a fresh VS Code/Copilot chat or reload the VS Code window. Core should appear in the MCP server/tool list after VS Code loads the config and completes authentication.
