# MCP Extension sample This sample demonstrates usage of the MCP connection API. This API is currently still proposed. ## Running the Sample - Run `npm install` in terminal to install dependencies - A `postinstall` script would download latest version of `vscode.proposed..d.ts` - Run the `Run Extension` target in the Debug View. This will: - Start a task `npm: watch` to compile the code - Run the extension in a new VS Code window - In the new window, run the command `Add Gist Source` command with a gist containing MCP servers ([example](https://gist.github.com/connor4312/3939ae7f6e55b2e391b5d585df27465c)) - You can now run these MCP servers in chat.
