Apender

VS Code

Workspace MCP when Copilot/agent MCP is available.

How it works

Register the Apender MCP server in VS Code MCP settings (see Microsoft docs for the installed version).

Architecture

VS Code agent → MCP (stdio) → Apender API.

Configuration

Often .vscode/mcp.json or Copilot MCP settings UI.

Example server block — adjust paths as needed. Full reference: MCP configure.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apender": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/apender-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "APD_API_URL": "<API base URL from Dashboard → API keys>",
        "APD_API_KEY": "apd_live_your_key",
        "APD_WORKSPACE_ROOT": "/absolute/path/to/git/repo"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

APD_API_KEY and APD_API_URL in env.

Create keys in Dashboard → API keys.

Workspace root

APD_WORKSPACE_ROOT = folder opened as workspace root.

Example

Agent calls Apender tools before large workspace edits.

Troubleshooting

MCP not available
Confirm the extension version supports MCP.
