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.

VS Code and GitHub Copilot use their own MCP server configuration shape. Do not reuse Cursor JSON blindly.

Recommended setup path:

  1. Read the current VS Code MCP docs.
  2. Inspect existing workspace/user MCP config.
  3. Back up config before editing.
  4. Add Core with the documented servers shape.
  5. Ask the user to approve or start the server if VS Code prompts them.
