VS Code Everything sampleLLM

Add Everything to VS Code

1. 01

   Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "servers": {
    "server-everything": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"
      ]
    }
  }
}

2. 02

   Save the file and restart VS Code.

3. 03

   Ask for something sampleLLM does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls sampleLLM itself — you do not invoke it by name.

4. 04

   If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Everything's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Requires agent mode. MCP: Open User Configuration puts the same block in every workspace. VS Code docs
